Hathersage is a village in the
Peak District in
Derbyshire, England. It lies slightly to the north of the
River Derwent, approximately south-west of
Sheffield. The origin of its name is disputed, although it is generally accepted that the second half derives from the Old English word
ecg meaning "edge". In 1086 it was recorded in the
Domesday Book as
Hereseige, and around 1220 it was recorded as
Hauersegg.
