The village of Great Longstone is located in the county of Derbyshire, which is located in England. The government district which the village resides in is called Derbyshire Dales. The only other village in this local government district is Little Longstone. According to a 2011 census report, the total population of Great Longstone is 843. This village used to have more people when it was industrialized in the 18th century, but by the time the 20th century rolled around there were fewer factories there. This caused more people to leave and go to other towns and cities for work.

The first record of Great Longstone was in the Domesday Book of 1086. In this book, the village was called “Longsdune” and the recorded owner was Henry de Ferrers. The value of the entire village was listed as thirty shillings, which was the unit of currency formerly used in the United Kingdom back then. The first monumental structure in the village was the church called St. Giles in Great Longstone. This was constructed sometime during the 13th century with a medieval cross in the churchyard.  All of these historical features still exist today and has made the village a huge attraction for tourists. Another big attraction is the manor house called Longstone Hall. Records show this house was constructed in the 14th century and then later rebuilt in the latter part of the 18th century. This was the century when the village started to thrive in shoe manufacturing and lead mining.

The village has two public houses; The White Lion and The Crispin Inn. The name “Crispin” comes from the holy saint of shoemakers named St. Crispin. If you are a tourist coming to Great Longstone then you will definitely be stopping at one of these two public houses, if not both.
