St Cuthbert's Church, Doveridge [Map]. The 1400 years old Yew Tree under which Robin Hood married Clorinda.
They all drank a health to Clorinda and told her Bold Robin was a fine man.
When dinner was ended, Sir Roger, the parson of Dubbridge [Map], was sent for in haste.
He brought his mass book and bid them take hands, and he joined them in marriage full fast.
And then as Bold Robin and his sweet bride, went hand in hand to the sweet bower,
The birds sung with pleasure in merry Sherwood, and it was a most joyful hour.

St Cuthbert's Church, Doveridge [Map]. Window by Joseph Edward Nuttgens (age 59) in memory of Royal Navy Volunteer Reserve Test Pilot Richard Henry Basil Peach, died in the first accident involving a Canberra on 13th June 1951 at Hucknall. Son of Harry Bridford and Dora May nee Hawthorn, husband of Margaret Jean Walton nee Rudd. He lived at Crael House, Newstead Abbey near Lindy, Nottinghamshire.
On 13 June 1951, English Electric Canberra B.1, VN850, bailed to Rolls-Royce in October 1950 for Avon engine tests, crashed on approach to Hucknall with engine fire, coming down just outside field perimeter, killing 29-year-old Rolls-Royce test pilot Richard B. Peach. Part of 100 hour intensive flying trials on Avon RA7 engines, the starboard engine fitted with high energy ignition. One hour and 22 minutes after take off the pilot advised that the port engine was out and be was unable to re light. He was cleared for a direct approach to the runway. At about 250ft on finals the aircraft was seen to drop the port wing, the nose then went down, the aircraft turned 45 degrees to port and the undercarriage was retracted but the flaps stayed down. Climbing slightly and turning slowly to port the aircraft crossed the airfield before dropping the port wing again and the aircraft dived into the St.Alban's railway sidings at Bulwell Common railway station, Nottingham. The speed had been allowed to become too low on the approach by a pilot inexperienced on type (3.15hrs) and he was unable to use the full thrust of the starboard engine to recover the situation. It is likely that retraction of the flaps caused the final wing drop and dive.
