Hathersage,nestling in the Hope from Eyam Moor in summer.
Hathersage nestles in the Hope Valley area of the Peak District. This photo was taken from Eyam Moor in late summer with the heather in full bloom. Hathersage lies on the north bank of the River Derwent. It has a mediaeval church & there are local claims to links with Robin Hood. Stones in the churchyard mark what is known as the grave of Little John. In 1845 Charlotte Brontë stayed at the Hathersage vicarage, visiting her friend Ellen Nussey, whose brother was the vicar, while she was writing Jane Eyre and many of the locations mentioned in her novel match locations in Hathersage. Her "Thornfield Hall" for example is widely accepted to be North Lees Hall situated on the outskirts of Hathersage. In the mid-eighteenth century Hathersage was famous for its brass buttons.
