Addingham - St Michael & All Angels Church. F95P5

The Church of St Michael and All Angels at Addingham is situated about a mile south of the village of Glassonbury. Although Addingham is an Anglo-Saxon settlement, there hasn't been a village here since the 14th Century, when the River Eden changed its course and washed the village away.

Inside the Church are several stained glass windows, including a modern one by S.M.Scott, depicting St Michael and the dragon, inserted in 1973 as a memorial to Frederick and Thomas Westgarth, and their wives
