Chanonhouse Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'at the chanon-house,' i.e. the residence of the canon; Middle English chanon. This name, I believe, is obsolete in England, but still remains in the United States. A gentleman of this title was drowned in 1859 near New York. For many centuries the name was confined to Furness and the neighbouring district, and the last of the local branch died at the close of the last century. Shannon-house is now an old farm by Pennington Church, near Ulverston. Six hundred years ago it was the Chanon-house, where resided the canon of Conishead Priory, who undertook the parochial charge of the church at Pennington, then in the possession of the Augustinians. In old deeds it is written Chanonhouse and Channelhouse, and in the registers of Pennington and Ulverston both surname and place-name are found in every conceivable and inconceivable spelling, including the forbidding 'Charnel-house.'
