Corsenside is a village in Northumberland alongside the A68 road about seventeen miles north of Corbridge.
The tiny church of St. Cuthbert at Corsenside, between the road and the river, contains a Norman chancel arch. The age and dedication of the church makes it probable that this was one of the spots where the body of |St Cuthbert rested during the flight of the monks from Holy Island, between 875 and 882. If so, they probably came here from Elsdon and continued to Bellingham.
An interesting houe neighbours the church, a 17th century house with small, mullioned windows.[1]
