Hathersage itself began manufacturing needles and pins in the
16th century and also produced umbrella frames. Today it is better
known for its literary connections with Charlotte Bronte, and
with Robin Hood's companion, Little John. Little John is said
to have been born in Hathersage, working as a nail - maker before
becoming an outlaw in Sherwood Forest. A grave about 11' long
in the parish churchyard is reputedly his, and can be found on
the southern boundary of the churchyard. Charlotte Bronte wrote
" Jane Eyre" after staying in the vicarage at Hathersage,
which became the village of "Morton " in the book.
Eyre is a local name and in many respects, the novel is autobiographical.
