The Reputed Grave of Little John of Robin Hood
Fact or fiction is hard to determine, but the thigh bone at the grave site shows that the man buried there would have been six feet seven inches tall which is huge today but would have been unheard of in the 17th Century.
The grave of Little John is at this church in Hathersage.

Hidden 14th Century Church with the spire added in 1362. It is both twisted and leaning, twisting 45 degrees and leaning 9 ft 6 in (2.9 m) from its true center. Reminds me of a Dairy Queen ice cream cone.
