Hermitage 170m south east of All Saints Church is a medieval religious structure located in Derbyshire. The monument represents a small-scale anchoritic or hermitic settlement, reflecting the tradition of solitary or semi-solitary religious life that flourished in medieval England, particularly from the twelfth century onwards. Such hermitages typically consisted of modest stone buildings or cells occupied by individual hermits or small communities engaged in contemplative practice and service to nearby parishes. The precise original form and extent of this particular hermitage remain subject to archaeological interpretation, though its designation as a heritage monument acknowledges its significance as evidence of medieval religious organisation and the use of the English landscape for devotional purposes.
