Banks is a village in Cumbria, England, astride the course of Hadrian's Wall, 3 mile (5 km) NE of the market town of Brampton. The historic Lanercost Priory is just a mile (1.5 km) to the SW.
The village was previously called Bankys, Bankes, and les Bankes iuxta Lanercost. Its name derives from the nearby Roman fortifications. Banks East Turret is a relatively well-preserved turret with adjoining stretches of Hadrian's Wall.
