Burton in Lonsdale is a village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England, close to the border with Lancashire and Cumbria.

The settlement is mentioned in the Domesday Book as being in the Hundred of Amounderness, later being recorded in the wapentake of Ewecross.

This was eventually replaced by better coal from South and West Yorkshire when the railways arrived in the locality.

[19] The village has a community run shop (containing a small post-office) where local goods such as meats, cheeses and vegetables are available.

[21] In August 2014 the village founded a road cycling club called Lonsdale Wheelers CC.

[23] Events include circuit training, a monthly music night, a WI group and karate.

The school had been built in 1853, with money donated by Richard Thornton, a millionaire who had been born in the village.
