A prominent tree, known as Will Shore’s Tree, on top of Oker Hill is renowned as the subject of a sonnet by William Wordsworth concerning two local lads who each planted a tree there before parting for ever: 'Tis said that to the brow of yon fair hill Two brother clomb; and turning face from face Nor one look more exchanging, grief to still Or feed, each planted on that lofty place A chosen tree. Then eager to fulfil Their courses, like two new-born rivers, they In opposite directions urged their way Down from the far-seen mount. No blast might kill Or blight that fond memorial. The trees grew And now entwine, their arms’ but ne’er again Embraced those brothers upon earth’s wide plain, Nor aught of mutual joy or sorrow knew Until their spirits mingled in the sea That to itself takes all – Eternity. The parish church is St Mary the Virgin in the Cross Green area of Darley Bridge, located opposite South Darley Church of England Primary School. (en) |
