Lamonby is an agricultural hamlet in the Eden District, in the county of Cumbria, about 2 km from the edge of the Lake District National Park. It is located near the B5305 road and the village of Skelton, in whose parish it lies. There are no public transport, social or commercial facilities there.〔Parish Action Plan, c. 2009. (Retrieved 25 August 2015. )〕 The surname Lamonby originates from the hamlet.〔http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/lamonby〕 ==History== The name "Lambenemy" is recorded for the hamlet in 1257.〔David Mills: ''A Dictionary of British Place Names'' (Oxford, UK: Oxford UP, 2011 ()).〕 Limestone was quarried at Lamonby in earlier centuries.〔Benjamin Martin: ''The Natural History of England...'' (London, 1763), p. 325 (Retrieved 26 August 2015. )〕 A topographical dictionary of 1808 records 43 houses and 244 inhabitants.〔Benjamin Pitts Capper Esq.: ''A Topographical Dictionary of the United Kingdom...'' (London, 1808, alphabetical). (Retrieved 26 August 2015. ) 〕 Lamonby Hall, a Grade II listed building, is described as late 16th or early 17th-century with 20th-century alterations. It is built of large blocks of sandstone rubble with cement rendering and a greenslate roof with banded sandstone chimney stacks. After the Reformation, the hall is said to have included a Roman Catholic chapel. In the reign of Elizabeth, a certain Juliana Buckle of Yorkshire bought the hall on account of the chapel and kept a priest there for as long as it remained safe to do so.〔''The History and Topography of the Counties of Cumberland and Westmoreland'' (London, 1860) (Retrieved 26 August 2015. )〕 The chapel appears to be the origin of a piece of floral carving used in the large, segmental-arched main fireplace.〔British Listed Buildings. (Retrieved 25 August 2015. )〕 Also listed Grade II are the thatched Lamonby Farm House and barns (mid-17th-century with 19th and 20th-century alterations) and Lamonby House and barns (1703 with 19th-century additions).〔British Listed Buildings. (Retrieved 26 August 2015. )〕 Two cottages and a barn in Lamonby are said to be among the few surviving clay-built houses in Cumbria. They are built on stone foundations and have a cruck construction of curved timbers meeting at the roof ridge.〔''The Buildings of the Countryside, 1500–1750'', ed. M. W. Barley (Cambridge, UK: Cambridge UP, 1990), p. 71. (Retrieved 26 August 2015. )〕 "Lammonby" on 28 January 1845 was the scene of a notoriously brutal infanticide by a drunken mother. According to ''The Times'' of a few days later, "On Tuesday evening, the 28th ult., (mother ) made up a large fire in the kitchen of her own house, with the determination of sacrificing her child in the flames.... She stripped off all the child's clothes and hid them in a hole behind the inner door of the ashmidden, and having done so took the child by its legs and arms and literally roasted it to death."〔Emma Butcher: "A 'most barbarous and revolting murder'".
