Lazonby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lazonby is a village and civil parish in the Lower Eden Valley of Cumbria about 8 miles NNE of Penrith.

The village is quite large by local standards and contains the following amenities - 2 pubs, a primary school, fire station, a co-operative store and postoffice, auction mart, swimming pool, railway station (part of the Settle-Carlisle line) and the Bells of Lazonby bakery complex.

The parish church of St. Nicholas forms an united benefice with churches at nearby Great Salkeld and Kirkoswald.

In recent years many new housing developments have sprung up in the village. The village today is lived in mostly by people who work in either Penrith or Carlisle.

The parish of Lazonby contains no other villages but does include the settlements of Baronwood and Brackenbank. At Low Plains there is a mineral water bottling plant.

Plumpton or Plumpton Wall was a chapelry or township of Lazonby until 1866.
