The reputed grave of Little John is in the graveyard of St Michael and All Angels' Church in Hathersage. Inside the church, which dates from the 14th century, were until c. 1750, Little John's bow, helmet, arrows, and chain mail. By 1868 the helmet and bow were said to be in the collection at Parham House.[1]
The church is in a joint parish with St John the Baptist's Church, Bamford and Derwent.[2]
