Hunsonby

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hunsonby is a very small village or hamlet in the Eden Valley, Cumbria about 8 miles east of Penrith. Hunsonby more or less forms a combined settlement with Winskill.

[edit] Hunsonby Civil Parish

The civil parish of Hunsonby was formed in 1934 from a merger of the 2 parishes of Hunsonby & Winskill and Little Salkeld which were formed in 1866 out of the ecclesialastical and former civil parish of Addingham.

Within the parish is the ancient stone circle of Long Meg and Her Daughters but not the nearby standing stone of Little Meg.
