From the Wikipedia article
Glassonby is a small village and civil parish in the Eden Valley, in the Westmorland and Furness district of Cumbria, England. It lies about 3 miles (4.8 km) south south east of Kirkoswald. At the 2021 census the parish had a population of 339. Glassonby was historically part of the parish of Addingham. The former village of Addingham stood on the eastern bank of the River Eden, but was abandoned after the river changed its course. Just to the north of the village, at White House Farm, is a well-preserved late 16th-century bastle house. There is a microlight flying centre in the village.

Background
History
Glassonby was historically part of the ancient parish of Addingham in the county of Cumberland. The parish was divided into four townships: Gamblesby, Glassonby, Hunsonby and Winskill and Little Salkeld. The original village of Addingham and its parish church stood on the eastern bank of the River Eden, in the north-western corner of the Glassonby township. Addingham village appears to have been abandoned sometime between the 14th and 16th centuries, and the old parish church and its graveyard were gradually washed away by the changing course of the river. A new church, dedicated to St Michael, was built just south of Glassonby village in the early 16th century to replace the former church.…
