A remote village in Derbyshire's Peak District with a rich history dating back to pre-Roman times.
It's mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was granted a market charter in 1251.

St John The Baptist
Church of England
One of Simon Jenkins' "England's Thousand Best Churches".
This church is rightly known as the 'Cathedral of the Peak', for it is one of the largest and certainly the most perfect church in the area.
The present church probably replaced a much smaller Norman one, and faint traces of this may be seen in the Chancel.
The beauty of the current church is that it was all built about the same period, with few alterations or additions, being started about 1320 and completed soon after 1400.
The Nave, Aisles and Transepts were begun about 1340 in the Late Gothic style, and the Chancel and Tower were added at the end of that century in a Perpendicular style.
Grade I Listed.
