    Hiking

    St Mary's is a historic 12th-century Norman church located in the heart of the village. Known for its robust, defensive, "tank-like" architecture, the church was heavily restored in 1854. It features an original 12th-century tower, south porch, and font. The church, linked to the FitzHerbert family of Tissington Hall, is central to the village's famous, ancient well-dressing tradition.

    The original church was built around 1100, featuring a squat, thick-walled (approx. 4 ft) tower built for defense, likely reflecting the, at times, volatile nature of the period.
