- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-09. Revised by … Robin Hood and the Bishop of Hereford is an 18th century broadside ballad known in two versions, one in 16 stanzas, the other, more condensed, in just 11 stanzas. As Child notes, Child, Francis James 1882a, vol. III, p. 194. the Bishop of Hereford is also a character in the ballad of Robin Hood and Queen Katherine (Child 145), where he remembers how Robin Hood made him sing mass and extracted an enforced loan from him. The earliest broadside prints of this ballad are from c. 1750, while the MS containing the B version Has been dated to c. 1730, a dating Child feels is uncertain. According to Chappell it was the most popular Robin Hood ballad in the mid-19th century. Chappell, William 1855a, vol. II, p. 395. Plot The Bishop of Hereford will be passing through Barnsdale. Robin Hood orders his men to kill a deer: the bishop is going to dine with him and pay exorbitantly for it. Dressed as shepherds, Robin and six of his men …5 KB (745 words) - 23:15, 1 June 2022

Elizabeth, and King Iames". Osborne Has the verse in italics with empHasized words in normal type; I have reversed this. IRHB comments Osborne notes among the things Cecil was reviled for his acquisition and enclosure of Hatfield CHase. He also provides the rather unsavoury details required for a proper understanding of the last line, but this fortunately does not concern Robin Hood. Osborne (1673), pp. 513-14.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-09-02. Revised by … The ballad to which Child gave the title Erlinton exists in three versions, one of which, the C version, features Robin Hood. It is almost certainly a literary forgery. Plot Robin Hood meets a fair damsel, a tanner's daughter; they become lovers (straightaway), but soon the girl's two brothers come riding to fetch her home. A sword fight ensues in which Robin kills the elder brother but spares the younger at the girl's entreaty. The two lovers then elope to the forest. The forged C version Child reprints the C version, known as Robin Hood and the Tanner's Daughter, from the edition in 'Gutch's Robin Hood, [which was printed] from a manuscript of Mr Payne Collier, supposed to have been written about 1650'. Child, Francis James 1882a, vol. I, p. 106. As John Payne Collier had been exposed as a literary forger already in the mid-19th century, Collier's sad career is sufficiently well known to require only a reference to: …7 KB (1,107 words) - 16:19, 10 June 2022

- The northern part of the now bi-, tri or more-sected Little John's Lane in Reading. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-11-17. Revised by … Little John's Lane in Reading originally followed a course slightly east of due north from what is now Oxford Road (just before No. 534), crossing Sherwood Street and Fulmead Road, turning slightly east at Thornton Mews to continue north across Portman Road. However, development during the 20th century Has bi-, if not tri- or multi-sected it, so that there are now two streets named Little John's Lane on official street signs, one connecting Oxford Road and Sherwood Street, the other running north from Portman Road, while between the two, north of Sherwood Street to a point just south of Thornton Mews, the lane is a mere tarmac path for pedestrians, which is broken off by at least one fence but picks up on the north side of Thornton Mews. North of Portman Road, the lane leads to Little John's Farm, where the annual Reading Festival is held. I …7 KB (935 words) - 21:50, 23 May 2022

- West to east: Salford Museum and Art Gallery, and Chetham's Library. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-03-02. Revised by … Until the mid-19th century, Chetham's Library included a veritable cabinet of curiosities, among whose highlights – as they must seem to us – were several 'arrows [that] once belonged to Robin Hood'. Some time before 1866 most of this assortment of knick knack was gifted to Salford Museum and Art Gallery, which opened in 1850. See 1827 - Gregson, J S - Museum Chethamiense. This new cultural institution cannot have been too happy with its mass-acquisition, for the collection was further disbanded, and the present whereabouts of many objects are unknown.

- North: Robin Hood's Butt, Elford. South: general area where Robin Hood's Butt, Wigginton, may have been located. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-10-28. Revised by … According to local historians writing in the late 18th to mid-19th century, a now vanished mound situated southwest of Wigginton and northwest of Tamworth was known as 'Robin Hood's Butt'. This was also an alternative name for the mound now generally known as 'Elford Low', situated on the east side of Tamworth Road (A513), c. 800 m south-southeast of the village of Elford. It was said, during the first half of the 19th century, that Robin Hood used to shoot arrows from one to the other. They were known collectively, therefore, as 'Robin Hood's Shooting Butts'. Robin Hood's Butts in Elford and Wigginton were first noted by Stebbing Shaw in his History and Antiquities of Staffordshire (1798). Shaw, Stebbing 1798a, vol. I, p. 432.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-10-24. Revised by … Information courtesy Tim Prevett. Tim produces, and is a consultant on, slow TV. According to a local tradition inspired by the ballad of Robin Hood's Birth, Breeding, Valor and Marriage, Robin Hood and Maid Marian were betrothed under the ample branches of an old, large and still living yew tree in the churchyard in Doveridge. This famous tree, now supported by props and chains, is widely believed to be at least a thousand years old, but since its heartwood Has seriously decayed, it is difficult to determine its age. Geograph: SK1134:: The Doveridge Yew – Trunk. While there may well be earlier records of this, the earliest source known to IRHB to connect the yew with Robin Hood is a pamphlet on the history of the church of St Cuthbert and its churchyard published in 1986.
