Church of St Michael, Glassonby
The Church of St Michael and All Angels is located about half a mile south-west of the village of Glassonby in Cumbria. It was the parish church for the ancient parish of Addingham in Cumberland. It was built to replace an early church which was located by the village of Addingham, much of which was washed away when the River Eden changed it's course in 1350 AD. The present church dates largely from the 16th century, though with some earlier parts, and is a Grade II* listed building on the National Heritage List for England. Inside the church are a 9th century decorated cross shaft and a hogback grave stone (probably 10th to 12th century). Also, in the churchyard is the 10/11th century Addingham Cross.
