Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

The Lamploughs or Lamplughs, who are now best represented in the Hull district, possess the name of a Cumberland parish. Thomas Lamplugh, who was Archbishop of York exactly two centuries ago, was descended from a very ancient family in Cumberland, where the Lamplughs had flourished for many centuries with knightly honours. George Lamplugh, merchant, was lord mayor of York in 1662 (D.), and the name is still in that city.
