About
The chocolate box village of Alstonefield, between the rivers Manifold and Dove, is not far from Dovedale. The village has an interesting history and is surrounded by a network of paths and tracks. Although no longer a market centre it still has a village green, an Elizabethan manor house, a tithe barn, a 16th Century church and former coaching inn. St Peter's Church is od particular interest, having 17th Century box pews and a two-tier pulpit. The richly carved pew of the Cotton family from Beresford Has has perculiarly been painted a vivid green. The churchyard contains the grave of Ann Green who died in 1518 – reputedly the oldest legible gravestone in the country.
After strolling around this delightful village, take awalk down to Milldale and the river Dove.
