Mills & Martyrs Pilgrimage

Our signature Mills and Martyrs pilgrimage is a wonderful way to discover the hidden history of this part of the beautiful Peak District.
We circle the Tideswell Benefice from the Mother Church around her four Daughter Churches. Together we discover the forgotten stories of these fascinating buildings, from the head of Glossop’s almost-saint to Litton Mill’s cruelly-treated orphans buried in the churchyard ‘young, poor, easily replaced and anonymous’, one of whom inspired Charles Dickens’ to write Oliver Twist.
Through picturesque lead mining villages, by rivers through limestone dales and kilns we journey together, reflecting and reconnecting with ourselves, nature and each other.
