Ebenezer Rhodes described the view
approximately eighty years before this photograph was taken.
"From Matlock Bank many pleasing views are presented, in which
the church, most romantically situated amongst groups of trees
on the verge of a rock, is a beautiful feature. The undulation
of the limestone strata from Church Rock to Pig Tor, at the entrance
to Matlock Dale, is extremely curious, and highly worthy the observation
of geologists[1]. This
picture was published shortly after the council had opened up the
walk. |
