Cucklet Church, formerly known as Cucklet Delph, is a cave west of Jumber Brook in Eyam, Derbyshire.[2]
The book Caves of the Peak District describes it as "A series of through arches in a prominent buttress." It lies within the Stoney Middleton Dale Site of Special Scientific Interest.[3]
The cave was used as a church during the 1665 plague outbreak by William Mompesson.[4] The cavern itself was used as Mompesson's pulpit, with local family groups standing in the valley.[5] An annual plague commemoration service is held at the cave.
The 19th-century Sheffield author Samuel Roberts published Cucklet Church, a poem that accompanied a description of Eyam and its history.[6]
