"HATHERSAGE, a village and parish, is 5½ miles E. by S. from Castleton, in the same hundred as Hope, and 4 miles front that village. The branch of wire drawing, and the manufacture of needles, are carried on here extensively; and upon the Derwent, which flows through the parish, are corn mills, and one for the making of paper." [There is further information for Hathersage]

The following men were mustered from Hathersage for military service; training at Bakewell under Sir John Manners, and Robert Eyre Esq. in preparation for defending Britain in Protestant Elizabeth I's war against Catholic Philip II of Spain - the force which was to become known as the Spanish Armada. The original documents are preserved at Belvoir Castle, in the possession of the Duke of Rutland, and were first published in the Journal of the Derbyshire Archaeological Society, January 1895. This particular transcription is an extract from The Spanish Armada & Local Levies (Notes from a Peakland Parish, Chapter X).
