If you read into the local communities that live and have lived around the High Peak area of the Peak District there is alot of evidence to suggest that this was and still is very much the case.

Dr. David Clarke of the Centre for National Cultural Heritage at Sheffield Hallam University writes about this in his book Supernatural Peak District

Also highly recommend his rare oop book Strange South Yorkshire which someone is selling for a steal on ebay right now! I'd pay four times as much for this book!

if I didn't already have the book I'd be rushing to buy this as it is essential reading

It has a wonderful section on the disputed Pagan Anglo-Saxon versus Norman origins of Bailey Hill in Bradfield near Sheffield which is located behind St Nicholas' church. Not a prehistoric site (or is it ;) ) but well worth a visit in the context of this thread.

Also some interesting ideas about the Head Stone/Cock Crowing stone on the Rivelin Valley
