    Town Well submitted by Creative Commons Town WellHoly Well in Derbyshire. Tissington is known as the mother place of well dressing and visitors come from all over the world to witness the annual well dressing ceremony. This takes place on Ascension Day, when five attractive wells are dressed together with a children’s well. Well dressing is a custom found primarily in or near Derbyshire and, although the Church at one time banned the custom as water worship, the wells are often decorated with Christian themes. Well dressing is thought to go back to Pagan times, a ritual performed to give thanks for the supply of fresh water. Another school of thought claims that the Romans introduced the custom into Britain, the philosopher Seneca stating that – " where springs or rivers flow we should build altars or make sacrifices." Whatever the true origin, Tissington, recorded as dressing a well in 1349, is the oldest authenticated instance of well dressing in Derbyshire. It is probable that well dressing took place in 1350, in thanksgiving for the Tissington's escape from the Black Death, which was attributed to the purity of its water.

    Sited just under 200 metres north of the stone circle, The Northern Antiquarian (TNA) features a page for this cup marked stone - see their entry for Nine Stones Cup-Mark, Harthill, Derbyshire, which they record was found in 2009. TNA give directions for finding this stone, together with a photograph and a brief archaeology & history. Now to be found in a dry stone wall, TNA say: "Similar in size and form to the Bent Head cup-marked stone found in drystone walling near Todmorden, West Yorkshire, the proximity of the Nine Stone Close megalithic ring further up the slope from this example illustrated that prehistoric man found this location of some importance; but as the cup-markings — two definites, perhaps a third — had been etched onto a small portable rock, typical of those found in prehistoric tombs, we wondered whether or not a prehistoric grave had once stood close by. Thankfully, a persual of Barry Marsden’s (1977) catalogue later proved fruitful. For in the adjacent field below where this carved stone sits in its wall, at SK 2255 6286, there’s a scattered mass of loose rocks and smaller stones (akin to the one here with its cup-markings), which Marsden listed as a prehistoric tomb. It seems probable that this cup-marked ‘portable’ originally came from this much denuded burial spot."

    Stanton Moor Overlooking the gritstone moorlands to the east and south, Stanton Moor IV, although referred to as an embanked stone circle, is more reminiscent of a ring cairn. It is now completely covered in heather, but the egg-shaped ring of the embankment can be seen raised up above the ground and is approximately 12.5m by 13.5m internally in diameter. There appears to be one entrance to the south-west. A number of small stones survive on the site, including one in the entrance, two at the inner edge of the bank standing

    Arbor Low Henge Arbor Low according to English Heritage is a well-known and impressive prehistoric monument, sometimes referred to as ‘the Stonehenge of the North’, owing to its henge bank and ditch, stone circle and cove. It bears more of a passing resemblance (though on a smaller scale) to that other great Neolithic monument, Avebury, in Wiltshire. You put a small gift into a box in the farmyard wall - well worth a deviation from the Way of Rings route!

    Kings Stone and Nine Ladies Stanton Moor is situated on elevated ground to the west of the River Derwent, near Bakewell in the Peak District. Few of the thousands of visitors who enjoy the tranquillity of the moor and the fine views can fail to notice the widespread archaeological remains that are dotted across this landscape. Most of these are thought to date from the Bronze Age, about 3,000 to 4,000 years ago. According to English Heritage; More than 70 stone cairns and barrows are known, and excavations over the past 100 years have demonstrated that many served as places of burial. The most evocative and well-known of these monuments is the Nine Ladies Stone Circle and the King Stone, set 40 metres (131 feet) to the west-south-west of the circle. Despite the name, there are 10 stones within the circle, the tenth (which has fallen and now lies flat) having been located in 1977. The stones are set on the inner edge of a slight bank, and form a ring which measures 11.5 x 10.5 metres (38 x 34 feet). The monument was first recorded by Major Hayman Rooke in 1782. He noted that there appeared to be stones in the centre of the ring, which may have formed a small cairn or ‘cist’. The names of the monuments derive from their associations with folk traditions, in which it is said that nine women were dancing on the Sabbath to a fiddler – the King Stone – and were turned to stone. The graffiti carved on the King Stone, which includes the name ‘Bill Stumps’, is also mentioned in The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens. In common with many other stone circles, little evidence has been uncovered to suggest why or when this stone circle was built and how it was used. Suggestions include a place for ceremony or burial, a territorial marker, a perceived link between the earth and the sky and the living and the dead, or a meeting place for seasonal events. Such monuments may have had many functions, their uses and perceived significance shifting over time.

    Minning Low is the largest and most prominently sited cairn in the Peak District, 2km to the west of Aldwark. Surrounded by a beech plantation 500m to the east of The High Peak Trail between the villages of Parwich and Elton, it is a landmark for miles around. Measuring 34m by 44m, the cairn consists of at least four chambers and has undergone a number of construction phases. The Low originally began life as a single chamber with a small mound comprised mainly of limestone probably during the Neolithic period. It was later covered by a long cairn with four chambers and later still converted into a massive circular mound, perhaps during the Bronze Age.

    The Brailsford Cross The Brailsford CrossThe Brailsford Cross, Derbyshire. In the churchyard of All Saints at Brailsford stands a Saxon/Norse cross, dating from 1000-40 AD. It has a sort of rounded bulbous shaft that tapers towards the top. Carved upon it a crude figure, probably a Viking warrior drawing his sword. Below that some Saxon interlacing. Weathering has, unfortunately, got to the lower part of the shaft. Apparently, the shaft was excavated from beneath a medieval cross. When its steps were dug up the pre-Conquest shaft was lying below that. The cross-shaft sits in a socketed base, near the porch, that is more recent in date. All Saints church houses a rather nice octagonal, Perpendicular font that has a Tudor rose carved on its base.

    Altar Stone, Whitwick submitted by enkidu41 Altar Stone, WhitwickNear Whitwick in Leicestershire, a so-called druidical 'Altar Stone' to the north-west of Mount Saint Bernard Abbey, the first monastery to be established in England after the Dissolution. It is a large flat stone resting on other smaller stones. This seems unlikely to have anything to do with prehistoric Druids but may be the work of late eighteenth century gentry who had a fascination with the highly-imaginary 'revival' of Druidism that was then fashionable.

    Bradgate Hunt's Hill Stone Standing Stone in Leicestershire. Although this 5 foot stone was certainly erected by humans Bob Trubshaw (see talk next month in Leicester) is of the opinion that it was a bunch of 20th century Boy Scouts! He doesn't elaborate on his reasons however. Situated just outside Bradgate Park in Leicestershire at Grid Ref SK524116, turn left at the public toilets and enter the wood to it's left. The stone stands right in the middle by a large Holly bush. Several recumbant stones surround the stone and there is a possible cist just to the west (other side of the bush).

    St Wystan's (Repton) Early Christian Sculptured Stones & Saxon Crypt in Derbyshire St Wystan's, Repton is hugely significant, being the main home of the Mercian royal family for near 300 years. Due to the considerable spread of Mercia at the time, it is also arguably the site of a former capital of Great Britain, as we now have it. A near perfectly preserved Saxon Crypt is the main must-see attraction, with some fragments of Saxon stones in the porch, and some mounted on the walls. See the official Church Website for extensive details for everything you would need to know. It also has the tallest spire in South Derbyshire, and situated next to the noted school, it is hard to miss.

    Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Warwickshire Allegedly a baptismal holy well, this large bath-well is very easy to find, just down a slope outside the gate of the churchyard of St John the Baptist's, Berkswell. The water seems to flow southwards into the 16-foot square bath, though it's difficult to tell, and then enters a smaller bath to the south which has steps leading down into the water from either side. There's an inscription on the upper bath recording its restoration in 1851 (or perhaps 1831 - that's difficult to tell as well!). Of course the village takes its name from this spring - 'Berchewelle' in Domesday Book - though the meaning is obscure. The church seems to have had some ancient significance and may be a second-rank minster: it has a Norman crypt, very unusually for a village church, and John Leland reckoned that a St Milred (who may have been an 8th-century bishop of Worcester) was buried here.
