In the chasm of Lud's Church
Over the ages this place has offered shelter to all sorts of renegades and there is a legend that Robin Hood used it. However, it is fairly certain that the Lollards (followers of John Wycliffe, an early church reformer, who were condemned as heretics) used it as a place of worship in the early fifteenth century, giving the place its current name.
