Fenny Bentley

This village with a curious name would be just a hamlet but for its church and the fact that it boasts the closest pub to the beauty spot of Tissington. It did once have a moat around the old hall, family seat of the Beresfords. Thomas Beresford, who fought at Agincourt with many sons from his 21-strong brood, is commemorated with his wife in Fenny Bentley church, but their effigies appear as two figures trussed up from head to toe in marble shrouds.
