Doveridge

As its name suggests, this village is situated on the banks of the River Dove, and more specifically its name stems from having a bridge over the River Dove (i.e. Dove[B]ridge). Although there is a fair amount of modern housing, Doveridge still retains a rural atmosphere and like many of Derbyshire’s old villages was mentioned in the Domesday Book as having a parish church and a water mill. Today the church remains, but the mill was demolished in the 1970’s after being left in disrepair for many years. The Parish Church of St Cuthbert, dating essentially from the 13th century, contains memorials to the Cavendish family. Approaching St Cuthbert’s by the main path you enter a ‘tunnel’ of branches formed by an ancient yew tree, reputed to be some 1,200 years old. According to legend, Robin Hood was betrothed to his lady under its boughs.
