Source notes
MS variants listed in the printed edition are hardly significant for IRHB's purposes, except perhaps 'Hauton', 'Halton' for 'Hanton'.
The "said woods" are "[s]ix parcels of wood", on land common to Nottingham town, "called by the several names of New Coppice, Old Coppice and the Armytage, in the occupation of the town"[2]
The printed edition includes a plate with a detail of the map PRO MR 1142 showing "Robinhoodes Well" and adjacent plots.[3]
