Olaus Wormius consulted by Spelman finds Loder or Lother a common name among the antient kings of Denmark, and derives it from Loth and Er, q.d. fortunate honor. The name of Lothair is also frequent among the German emperors. Perhaps however both the name and seat of Lowther here, as Lauder in Scotland, are to be derived from the neighbouring river, which in British signifies clear water, Gladdwr. ... | ||
... The family have figured here for many generations from the time of Henry II. Sir John Lowther, who was keeper of the privy seal and one of the lords justices during the absence of William III. 1699, was advanced 1696 to the dignity of baron Lowther viscount Lonsdale, which became extinct in his grandson. The first viscount built here 1685 a handsome house (which was burnt down 1720), and rebuilt and furnished the church. Christopher, another branch of this family, was created a baronet 11 Charles I. which honour ended in his grandson James, who died immensely rich 1755, and in the title of baronet and the estate was succeeded by James Lowther, a descendant from one common ancestor, and created earl of Lonsdale 1784. | ||
