EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting St Michaels Church, nestled in the picturesque Peak District of Derbyshire. The churchyard is steeped in legend and folklore, as it is believed to be the final resting place of Little John, Robin Hood's loyal lieutenant. In 1780, an extraordinary discovery was made when his grave was opened - a thighbone measuring an astonishing 30 inches long was found inside. This remarkable find suggested that Little John himself stood at over seven feet tall. The architectural beauty of St Michaels Church shines through in this image, showcasing its stunning features against a backdrop of lush greenery. The vibrant flags fluttering atop the spire add a touch of color and movement to the scene. As you gaze upon this ancient structure, you can't help but feel a sense of awe and reverence for its rich history. Surrounded by nature's splendor, with shrubs and plants adorning its entrance porch, St Michaels Church stands as a testament to Christian faith and devotion throughout the ages. Its medieval charm transports visitors back to a time when mythical figures like Robin Hood roamed these lands. This print serves as both an architectural marvel and a reminder of our cultural heritage. It invites us to explore the depths of British history while appreciating the enduring beauty that lies within our country's churches and landscapes.
