More about this scene
The legendary resting place of Robin Hood's loyal lieutenant has been pointed out to visitors to Hathersage churchyard for many years, and has been 'adopted' by the Ancient Order of Foresters, who look after it. Little John was said to be the son of a Hathersage nailor, and he died in a cottage (now demolished) to the east of the churchyard.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My grandfather, Albert Clements, was a coachman at Shendish Stables at the time of the 1911 Census and so may have been a work colleague of William Scott (as posted by Barbara Gill on this site)
My Uncle Charles and my father James Scott were born at Nether Hall in the early 1900's. The family was in service to Sir Henry Longman. The main family residence was Shendish House in Apsley,Hertfordshire where my grandfather,William Scott was coachman and head of the stables. All the horses owned by the Longmans were given a name beginning with L. My own grandaughter has a wooden rocking horse, named Larkspur, after my father's favourite mare.
