Somewhere around 1130 AD or so the story goes a Derby baker known as Cornelius saw a vision of the Virgin Mary in which he was told to come here and worship God. He dug this hermitage out of the sandstone and included a carved cross then lived here for some 20 years before moving to a nearby more conventional dwelling.
