Sir James Fergus Surtees Graham, 7th Baronet
''Sir'' is a formal honorific address in English for men, derived from Sire in the High Middle Ages. Both are derived from the old French "" (Lord), brought to England by the French-speaking Normans, and which now exist in French only as part of "", with the equivalent "My Lord" in English. Traditionally, as governed by law and custom, Sir is used for men who are knights and belong to certain orders of chivalry, as well as later applied to baronets and other offices. As the female equivalent for knighthood is damehood, the ''suo jure'' female equivalent term is typically Dame. The wife of a knight or baronet tends to be addressed as Lady, although a few exceptions and interchanges of these uses exist. Additionally, since the late modern period, Sir has been used as a respectful way to address a man of superior social status or military rank. Equivalent terms of address for women are Madam (shortened to Ma'am), in addition to social honorifics such as Mrs, Ms, or Miss. Etymo ...

Netherby Hall
Arthuret is a civil parish in Cumbria, England. According to the 2001 census it had a population of 2,434, increasing to 2,471 at the 2011 census. The parish includes the town of Longtown and the village of Easton. It is bounded by the River Esk to the west and the River Lyne to the south. Etymology The interpretation of the name Arthuret has presented problems. The name can possibly be associated with the battle of ''Armterid'' recorded in the mid-10th century Welsh ''Annales Cambriae'' as having taken place in c. 573; ''Armterid'' (spelt ''Arfderydd'' in Modern Welsh) is composed of ''arm-'', perhaps meaning "arms, weapon" (''arf'' in Modern Welsh, borrowed ultimately from Latin ''arma'', "arms, armour") – or perhaps an Old Welsh cognate of Old Irish ''airm'' meaning 'place' – and a second element ''terid'' "ardent, fierce; flaming, blazing; fast, nimble, swift" (''terydd'' in Modern Welsh, a loan from Latin ''torridus'', "scorched, parched, burned").
