Hathersagen the Peak: A History

Barbara Buxton

4.9/5 (14872 ratings)

Description:Hathersage is hidden in the Dark Peak, which once formed a frontier for pre-Roman tribes and Saxon kingdoms. Bronze-Age families settled on the Hathersage hillsides, medieval lords cherished the forests of the Derwent valley, and monastic houses made their granges on the moors, which would later be crossed by dry stone walls. This well researched and entertainingly written book examines Hathersage's romanticised link with Robin Hood's Little John and tells of the legendary and lawless Eyres of Padley. Men from Hathersage fought at Agincourt and against the Spanish Armada. In the 19th century Hathersage developed as a mill village owing to demand for its wire products in lead working, and later became world famous for its wire, hacklepins (for dressing wool and flax) and domestic needles. Hathersage has been a sanctuary for Dunkirk survivors and victims of the Blitz. Today people come for the village's beautiful landscape, its church and the legends of its past. Barbara Buxton's wide-ranging and informative account, enhanced by a collection of superb illustrations, will have broad appeal well beyond the Peak District.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
