Hathersage Church
St Michael and All Saints, Hathersage is a medieval church with a stained glass window by Charles Kempe, which was removed from Derwent Chapel, before it was submerged under the Ladybower Reservoir. There are local claims to links with the Robin Hood story. Stones in the churchyard mark what is known as the grave of Little John, who is said to have come from the nearby village of Loxley. In 1780 a James Shuttleworth claims to have unearthed a thigh bone near Little John’s grave measuring 30 inches, which would have made Little John 8.08 feet tall. The bone has since disappeared.
The church was extensively restored at the end of the 19th century. It is well supported and has a choir.
Sunday Services: 8am Holy communion (alternate weeks at Bamford); 9.30 am Parish Eucharist.
Hathersage Methodist Church has Morning Worship 10.30am every Sunday
