There is also St Michael de Rupe on Brentor in West Devon, and St Michael
at Rowberrow in North Somerset. I only discovered the latter a few weeks
ago - immediately across the valley from the site of a ruined church on the
top of Dolebury Warren.
What was the dedication of the church on Glastonbury Tor? I've always
assumed that was St Michael. There's another similar one on a high mound at
Othery. Not sure of that dedication either.
