Hiking
In the legends of Northern Derbyshire, ‘T’Owd Man’ is recognised as a spirit figure that
inhabits mines and caverns - hence the carving is named ‘T’Owd Man of Bonsall’.
For up to 1,000 years, the T’Owd Man remained unrecorded until St James’ Church was renovated and extended in 1863. It was relocated to Wirksworth in the 1870s.
