Revised by … Introduction Gover, Mawer and Stenton note in the English Place-Name Society's volume on Nottinghamshire that [a]s might be expected in the county of Nottingham references to the Robin Hood story are frequent but none of the names is recorded except in modern maps and documents. We may note Robin Hood's Cave, Chair, Grave, Hill, Stable and Well, Robin Hood Close, Farm and Meadow, Robin Hood Close and Little John, all from the Sherwood and neighbouring districts. Gover, John Eric Bruce 1940a, p. 294. While It is true that most Robin Hood-related place-names in Nottinghamshire are only recorded relatively late, two such name, Robin Hood's Well and Robin Hood's Close were in fact in use already in the early Tudor period.

Since all relevant field names (as well as place-names) found in Smith's Place-Names of the West Riding of Yorkshire Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a are also included, it is perhaps not too optimistic to think that IRHBs' coverage of Robin Hood-related field names in the West Riding is close to exhaustive.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-05-23. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Rutland as follows: Rutland is the smallest county in England, and indeed the smallest of them all after Clackmannanshire and Kinross-shire. Rutland is the heart of the Midlands. Rutland is almost entirely agricultural, the only towns of any size being Oakham and Uppingham, both small and charming. Elsewhere Rutland is characterized by delightful villages. Those in the east of the county are built mostly in oolitic limestone, those in the south and west more in warm limestone. Rutland is a well watered place; the Eye Brook, the Chater, and the Gwash flowing through green vales between rolling hills. The south-eastern border is the Welland. The Gwash was dammed in the 1970s, flooding a huge area for a reservoir; Rutland Water. Although its construction was the subject of considerable opposition and involved the demolition of the hamlet of Nether Hambleton, Rutland …3 KB (432 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022

Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Leicestershire as follows: Leicestershire is a Midland county, famed as a foxhunting shire but also as an industrial one. Leicester, the county town is a historic city with Roman, Viking and Mediæval roots under a substantial modern city undergoing great social transformation. Leicestershire has a wealth of coal seams. Northern Leicestershire is greatly transformed by coal mining. Coalville, northwest of Leicester, was founded on and sustained by the mines, a centre among other mining centres. The rest of the county is famed for its scenery, including the hilly Charnwood Forest, rising above 900 feet and the Wolds in the northeast. In this unindustrial part of Leicestershire are many charming villages and rich farmland. Melton Mowbury, at the heart of fox-hunting country in the east of the shire, is the home of the eponymous pork pie. (Stilton cheese is also from …4 KB (448 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-16. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Derbyshire as follows: Derbyshire has four distinct areas but all together creating the whole. Much of southern Derbyshire lies in the green Trent Valley. Derby itself, a cathedral city, is a major midland industrial town, currently trying to diversify. The Derwent runs through the eastern edge of Derby, southward towards the Trent. From the northern edge of Derby the hills begin to rise at once and the rolling hills of the Derbyshire Dales begin. This area is an in between land, for beyond the farms of the hills and dales, the land becomes rougher and the hills become the high, dramatic moors of Peak District, an area of glorious scenery. The mountains in the High Peak, take up the whole northwest of the county. The Pennine Way begins at Edale in the Peak District, drawing hikers in their hundreds each week. The rest of the Peak District should not be neglected …4 KB (507 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-19. Revised by … County description The Historic Counties Trust describes Lincolnshire as follows: Lincolnshire is a large county; in England the biggest after Yorkshire. It is divided into the three parts; Holland (the southwest), Kesteven (the southeast) and Lindsey (the north). The county lies along the North Sea coast and extends from the Humber estuary in the north to Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire in the south. The North Sea coast runs into the sea with long tidal mudflats and sandy beaches for its whole length, so that the tide may run out a mile from where the map shows. The southern end of the county's coast is part of the Wash. Lincolnshire is mainly flat with a great deal of drained fenland particularly in the south of the county. There is one remarkable range of hills; the Lincoln Edge, a narrow ridge which runs in a straight line almost due north for some forty miles, through Lincoln and on, though "the Heights" as it is …4 KB (577 words) - 05:06, 27 May 2022
