In the book, King Olaf's Kinsmen - A story of the last Saxon struggle against the Danes in the days of Ironside and Cnut by Charles W Whistler (1896), Penhurst and the Ashbourne valley are heavily featured.
"...destruction of the ancient mining village at Penhurst by the Danes is remembered yet with strange tales of treasure found among its stone buildings" probably refers to Town Creep. The book is a novel, rather than a history book though.
