Assessment Report

[edit]
  1. Article needs to be massively expanded using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
  2. It should make use of sections, using Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements as a guide.
  3. Infobox to be added (use Template:Infobox UK place.)
  4. References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. Make sure that as many as possible are "in-line" citations.(See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.)

Please don't add negatively biased material to this article, especially if you do not cite sources for it. Also, it is not appropriate to sign the article with your own username. -FisherQueen 18:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal

[edit]

I've proposed that Rainow Primary School should be merged, primary schools are not usually notable. Snigbrook (talk) 14:53, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Historical heritage

[edit]
In surrounding areas to the village there are standing stone markers that are thought to have been placed there before 3000 BC, and similar ones can be found in other areas of Derbyshire. These are large stones that have been discovered in perfectly straight lines if you look at them on a map.
The original reason for them being placed there is unknown, but archaeological digs have showed the route was later adapted to be a pack horse route and a roman road.
There are many stories to the original purpose for these stones being placed in this way, the most popular of which is one based on prehistoric worship rituals. It is thought that there were many other lines of stones in the area that have since been destroyed, buried or moved. They were in certain patterns to worship the spirits that would protect them from evil. Due to the only partial evidence that remains, detailed theories of what they were worshiping is unable to be made by historians. There have been some theories put forward that at each of these sites would surrounded and draped with sacred objects and signs. So far no evidence has been found of this theory but it is hard to confirm or deny as the likelihood is these symbols would be easily perishable or have been removed by people using the route or farmers at a later date.

I've moved the above new material to here for discussion. I have certain problems with it:
