Hartington
Hartington is a village in the Derbyshire Peak District, England, lying on the River Dove close to the Staffordshire border. According to the 2001 census, the parish of Hartington Town Quarter, which also includes Pilsbury, had a population of 345. Formerly known for cheese-making and the mining of ironstone, limestone and lead, the village is now popular with tourists.
==Architecture==
Notable buildings in the village include: the market hall (formerly the site of a market); the 13th-century parish church of Saint Giles; and 17th-century Hartington Hall. A prominent house in the centre of the village (featured in the photo 'Hartington', below right), is Bank House built by the former village mill owner and in the past used as the village bank. A half-mile (800 m) to the south of the village, on the Dove, is the fishing house of the famous angler Charles Cotton. In the north of the village is Pilsbury Castle,〔(Walking Britain website )〕 an 11th-century motte-and-bailey castle, that survives only as an earthwork.
Near Hartington is the finest neolithic stone circle in the Peak District, Arbor Low. There are numerous ancient tumuli and cairns in the landscape around Hartington, probably dating from the Bronze Age.
Hartington Mill, now a private house, stands by the River Dove. This was the local water mill for grinding corn.
