According to early 19th century tradition, Robin Hood shot an arrow from the Dipping Stone at Whaley Moor to Chinley Churn.
William Marriott's account in his Antiquities of Lyme and its Vicinity, published in 1810 (see Allusions), is the only known source for this tradition. Unfortunately he was more interested in developing elaborate hypotheses about the origins of various stone monuments in Lyme Handley and its vicinity than in providing a detailed account of the popular traditions on which his speculation was largely based.
