Great to see that someone else thinks this standing stone is interesting. Check out the smaller stone 200-300 hundred yards down the slope to the east. Could they be connected? A further large standing stone, now gone, was recorded in the Dale Quarry.

Great picture, always fascinated by this stone and taken lots of pictures of it myself in the past, can't find out much history about it though, dont know if you have any info at all.

When were you in Wirksworth? My wife comes from there, and her father and grandfather set up the factory and factory shop up North End; her mother was very active in the Methodist Church there.
