Sheldon is a village and civil parish in the Derbyshire Peak District, England, near Bakewell.

It is now scheduled as an ancient monument, and is the most complete example of a lead mine remaining in the Peak District.

The parish church of St Michael and All Angels was erected in the 19th century with material derived from dismantling the former Chapel of Ease.

The Sheldon Duck[2] is a duck-like pareidolia found in an ash tree, which was felled at the beginning of the 20th century.

When the same tree was felled, approximately 300 years later, a duck-like pattern with markings of the brain and lungs were found in the resultant timber boards.
