Glasson, Wigton
Glasson is a small settlement in Cumbria, England. It just inland from the Solway coast, eight miles northwest of the City of Carlisle on the course of Hadrian's Wall and its World Heritage Zone, near to Drumburgh. The place name of Glasson is thought to derive from the Anglo-Scandinavian 'glaise' which means a small stream.〔(Archaeological Data Service ) Retrieved : 2012-08-18〕
==History==
The line of the Vallum (National Monument number 26122) of Hadrians Wall, dating from 128AD-130AD runs through the village. No trace of the vallum is now visible within the village itself, however its earthworks are clearly visible in the fields to the east. A sandstone building stone inscribed "''Legions II Aug Coh III''" was found in the vicinity of Glasson in the 18th century.〔
The earliest map from the mid-eighteenth century shows a rural hamlet aligned along the course of the old vallum and made up of 21 dwellings. The 1838 tithe map shows 32 dwelling in Glasson with the same alignment. Between 1864 and 1926 the OS maps show that the village experienced a gradual expansion up to approximately 68 dwellings, aided by the establishment of the railway station on the line to Port Carlisle and to Carlisle via Drumburgh.〔
The village lies in the old Barony of Burgh, dating from 1092, the baron now being the Earl of Lonsdale. The barony was a bulwark against Scottish invasion across the Solway〔(Per Lineam Valli ) Retrieved : 2012-08-17〕
