The alleged grave of Little John is found in Hathersage churchyard. Little John's bow and helmet, which are now at Parham House, formerly hung in Hathersage Church. As noted by Kenneth Cameron, Little John's Grave and all other Robin Hood-related place-names in Derbyshire are first recorded at a late date, the Grave being first recorded in 1686.[1]Template:PnItemQry
