Staplegordon, Old Parish Church and Burial-ground NY 352 879 NY38NE 2
This church is on record in the 12th century and was abandoned in 1703 when the parish of Staplegordon was suppressed. A boulder built into the wall of the burial ground within which the church stood bears an incised cross which may be of Early Christian date.
