Earl Sterndale is a village in the Upper Dove Valley in the Peak District, Derbyshire, England, situated near the River Dove, 5 miles south of Buxton, and 8 miles west of Bakewell.

The farms surrounding the village were medieval monastic granges in the care of the monks of Basingwerk Abbey.

[1] The village church, dedicated to St Michael, was built in 1828 on the site of an ancient chapel by George Ernest Hamilton.

It was substantially damaged in 1941 when it was bombed by the Germans, who were probably aiming for a nearby explosives dump, and was restored in 1952.
