Stoke Flat

Stone Circle

Miscellaneous

"And back on the unchanging Flat of Stoke
Stand rugged stones in circle, whence the sun
The whole of day was seen, and where the stroke
Of sacrifice was at his rising done.
And out on Ramsley's brackened floor,
And high on Eyam's black barren moor,
And far o'er Offerton and all around
These olden temples stud the higher ground.
"

A verse from The Pride of the Peak by Ethel Bassett Gallimore (1926)
