As an Alsop myself, I made a backpacking trip in 2008 across Europe, and had to stop at Alsop en le Dale. I was peaking over the fence of the hall when a woman asked if she could help me. Understandably looking suspicious, I explained my situation. She showed me the church because I had previously not pushed hard enough on the door, and presumed it locked. The woman lived in the farmhouse right next to the church and offered to let me come to her home for tea. She made my trip to Alsop en le Dale spectacular. I wonder if there’s a way to send a thank you note to the kind woman that I met that day, as well as make a small contribution to the church.
Thank you,

Michael, in terms of contacting Alsop Church, it is part of the Peak Five group of parishes and details are on the website (http://www.peakfive.org).
I guess that ‘the lady in the farmhouse right next to the church’ must have been Christine D. at Church Farm in Alsop? It would be characteristic for her to show Michael A. around the church and invite him in for tea. You can contact her at enquiries@churchfarmholidaycottages.co.uk
