It is widely regarded that the Lunt Fort in Baginton was used as a horse training centre by the Romans.
After a revolt from the Iceni tribe of East Anglia in 60 AD, Suetonious Paullinus, the Roman Governor of Britain, sought vengeance and set up the fort in the village.
Set on the edge of the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts in the small town of Greenfield, Lunt Silversmiths was founded in 1882 by George C. Lunt and Anthony Towle with the goal of manufacturing the finest sterling tableware and giftware.
Lunt is an ancient village that, because of its small size, has escaped the roving eye of historians. It has remained a compact community, managing to avoid the ravages of urban encroachment. The name 'Lunt', perhaps because of this isolation, and because it has retained its rural integrity, has remained relatively unchanged unlike other local townships whose names have been bastardised over the years.
"One thing we have discovered is that we are a nation of wanderers. Our ancestors have wandered the globe, and often left us with only one clue to trace their heritage, their surname." - LUNT
as a Lunt I have become interested in any topic that has Lunt associations.
That is why I have setup this website.
I hope to add to this site in the future and hope that you will also add any information that you have to further the name of Lunt.
