Cucklet Church, a somewhat hidden limestone crag with caverns and arches in Eyam Delph (or Delf), a limestone gorge below the village of Eyam. When the plague came to Eyam in 1665 the parish church was locked, prompting the vicar William Mompesson to preach to his congregation gathered in the delph using the cavern as a pulpit.
