Lonsdale College is a constituent college of Lancaster University. It was one of the two founding colleges, originally built when the university first opened in 1964. It is also one of the largest colleges on campus in terms of Junior Common Room membership, with over 1,400 undergraduates. Like most other colleges in the university, the college is named after a region of the traditional county of Lancashire. The college takes its name from the Lonsdale area, the valley of the River Lune. The college is not to be confused with Lonsdale College, Oxford which is attended by Inspector Morse in the novels by Colin Dexter. Members of Lonsdale are referred to as Lonsdelians.^[2]
