Hathersage Church where the arrows and other Little John relics were found before c. 1750.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-04. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-18.

Little John's arrows together with his bow, helmet and chain mail hung in Hathersage Church until the mid-18th century. The arrows seem to have flown to parts unknown.
