*************

Grasmere is a village, and popular tourist destination, in the centre of the English Lake District. It takes its name from the adjacent lake, and is associated with the Lake Poets. The poet William Wordsworth, who lived in Grasmere for fourteen years, described it as ""the loveliest spot that man hath ever found"".^[1]

Before 1974, Grasmere lay within the former county of Westmorland, but today it is part of the county of Cumbria.

'The lake flanked by grass'; 'gres', 'mere'. Early spellings in 'Grys-', 'Gris(s)-' might suggest ON 'griss' 'young pig' as 1st el.[ement], but the weight of the evidence points to OE/ON 'gres' 'grass', with the modern form influenced by Standard English....The medial '-s(s)e-' may, as suggested by Ekwall in DEPN,^[2] point to ON 'gres-saer' 'grass-lake' as the original name..."" ^[3]. Plus the element ""'mere' OE, ModE 'lake, 'pool'.""^[4](OE is Old English, the language to c1100 A.D., ON is Old Norse).
