Alsop en le Dale was a very attractive little village as well.

The Church and yard was interesting too.

It obviously dates back many years, I have not been able to find out very much information with regards to the original building, but it will be at least a thousand years.

Excellent condition as well.

There was a nice view from the Church grounds I thought.

To the other side of the Church and across the road stood Alsop en le Dale Hall. quite an impressive building it was as well.

Flobo asked, 'Why do they have the fence around those graves and tombs.'

"Folk are dying to get in"

I replied.

That got me another smack around the head.

An interesting link here as well.

Alsop-en-le-Dale
Alsop-en-le-Dale is a tiny Derbyshire village situated 5 miles north of Ashbourne off the A515 on a narrow country lane.

It is only a mile from Parwich and about a mile from Dovedale.

The old railway station that used to serve Alsop-en-le-Dale is now a car park on the Tissington Trail.

The village consists of a church, a hall, afew farms and cottages. The church, dedicated to St MIchael and All Angels, was originally built in Norman times, though it was heavily restored in the 19th century. The nave still retains Norman features and a Norman window remains in the south wall.

Alsop Hall, situated in the quite village of Alsop-en-le-Dale, opposite the church, was built in the late 16th century for the Alsop family, whose ancestors had held the estate from the 12th century.

It changed ownership in the late 17th century and has passed through the hands of a number of families since. Still in private ownership, the hall consists of 2 central 3 storey gables and single bay 2 storey wings.
