Lanchester (Longivicium) Village

Lanchester is a small village that dates back to 140 AD with the ruins of a Roman Fort call Longivicium from which the village got its name. Lanchester sits between the forts of Vindorma (Ebchester) and Vinovia (Binchester).
Stone from the fort was used in the construction of All Saints’ Church which has a Roman altar from the fort found in 1893 in its porch.
The fort can be found on Dere Street on the roman road that leads north from York.
