The name "LAMPLUGH"  had begun to make its appearance in written records as Lamploch; Landploc; Lanplou; and Lumplow.The word 'llan' or 'landa' is Celtic meaning enclosure. The word 'plwyf' is also Celtic for Parish hence 'Llan-plwyf' eventually became Lamplugh.The Anglo - Saxons gave their names to Murton and Kelton. [townships within the parish] These families came from the south and used their farming expertise to settle on the  heavier fertile lands. Most of the' new' early Lake District place names are Old Norse, thus Lamplugh being of Celtic origin is further evidence of its great age.
