Hathersage Parish Church and the Hope Valley, Derbyshire.

Stanage Edge is in the distance.

Hathersage is in the north of the county and at the heart of the High Peak part of the Peak District National Park.

The parish church is reputed to have the grave of Little John, Robin Hood's lieutenant.

In 1845 Charlotte Bronte visited her best friend from her schooldays, Ellen Nussey,
whose father was vicar of Hathersage. She used her three week stay to walk the moors
and to visit the country houses around about. Her novel 'Jane Eyre' is set in Hathersage
and the fictitious village is named Morton, which was the name of the local publican.
The parish church contains 15th century brasses of the Eyre family.
Close by is North Lees Hall (Thornfield in 'Jane Eyre') which originally belonged to the real Eyre family.
