 In Cumbria, there were monasteries at Carlisle, Dacre, and Heversham, known from literary sources; and at Knells, Workington and Beckermet, known from stone inscriptions; and possible sites at Irton, with its early 9th-century cross, Urswick and Addingham without any evidence attached to them.Anglian sculpture was invariably to be found at monastic sites (which, in turn, were to be found in good agricultural areas).The crosses themselves were not grave markers (a few cemeteries had grave slabs), but were "memorials to the saints and to the dead."
