Burtholme

It also appears in Burtholme Beck, which marks a significant point on Hadrian's Wall.

Burtholme is a civil parish within the Cumberland district in Cumbria, in North West England.

The land around the hamlet extends down to the River Irthing and presumably is the holme (a piece of flat low-lying ground by a river or stream) of Burtholme or Burt's holme.

The name dates back to the Danelaw and was well established by the time that Lanercost Priory was founded in 1169, the founding charter of which made Burtholme Beck the western boundary of its land.

It is crossed by Hadrian's Wall and is close to the point (Turret 53B) at which the building material used for Hadrian's Wall changed from Limestone (to the east) to red sandstone (to the west).
