- The spinney (formerly?) known as Robin Hood Covert indicated with a yellow pin. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-01. Revised by … A spinney near the north-east corner of what is now the golf course of Bicester Hotel Golf and Spa – at the intersection of the A4095 and Middleton Stoney Road – was known as 'Robin Hood Covert' by 1922 (see Maps below). As the covert is only labelled on the 25" O.S. map of the area issued that year, it is not clear if the name is still current. There have been several changes of ownership of Bignell House and Park, On the Market: Bignell House (Chesterton, Oxfordshire). and part of the grounds are now a golf course open to members of the public. It would not be surprising if the name of the covert had been forgotten, but the spinney is still around, as can be seen in the Google Maps Street View photo included below. The covert is entered here as a 'Natural feature': for statistical purposes IRHB does not distinguish between wild and …4 KB (541 words) - 13:53, 7 January 2021

- Brize Norton where Robinhoods Close was located. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-02-13. Revised by … 'Robinhoods Close' figures as a Brize Norton field name in a 1777 enclosure award. Margaret Gelling makes an interesting suggestion with regard to its etymology, noting that "Robinhood is used in dialect of several plants". Gelling, Margaret 1953a, pt. II, p. 308, and see p. 306 for the township, I, p. xxxiv for the MS source. Italics as in Gelling. 'Robinhood' or 'Robin Hood' is known to have been used as a folk name for Silene dioica (first recorded 1847; a.k.a. 'red campion'), Geranium robertianum (1913; a.k.a. 'storksbill', 'death come quickly' etc.) and Lychnis flos-cuculi (1913; a.k.a. 'Ragged-Robin') (see section 'Also see' below). The suggested etymology would imply that the plant name was in use nearly 80 years before the first certain record, which may of course well have been the case. As one would expect, field names inspired by local vegetation are very common. Thus …4 KB (558 words) - 00:57, 6 January 2021

- Oxford Street, Woodstock. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-09-21. Revised by … Reference found by Robert Lynley. Robin Hood's Elm on Oxford Street in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, figures in the Woodstock chamberlains' accounts for 1608, 1618 and 1640 (see Records section below). Elms seem to have been quite common in Woodstock and often stood in front of houses. Maslen, Marjorie 1993a, pp. 97, 128, 135, 137 (bis), 148, 158. A "greate elme in Oxford streete", most probably not that named after Robin Hood, was encircled by a bench which needed "newe makinge" in 1627 and "settinge upp" in 1637. Maslen, Marjorie 1993a, pp. 114, 167; pp. 111, 165 for dates. While Robin Hood's Elm was certainly a living tree, not a Maypole or May tree brought in from the woods, it is not inconceivable that it may have owed its name to some connection with spring festivals. There are references to bringing in the summer rood or Maypole and to Whitsun revels or sports etc. in the chamberlains' and …3 KB (347 words) - 13:50, 7 January 2021

- The former Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-21. Revised by … The Robin Hood at 44 Vineyard in Abingdon existed from 1796 or earlier to 1910 or slightly later. Information on publicans and residents culled from censuses and trade directories dating from 1796 to 1907 can be found at Pub History. Pub Wiki: Robin Hood, 44 Vineyard, Abingdon, Berkshire. Changes to street numbering can make it difficult to determine the exact location of a long defunct pub, but very likely the building in the photo below was in fact the Robin Hood. Early 25" O.S. maps, including that published in 1912, based on a revision carried out in 1910, indicate three public houses on Vineyard. On later maps the 'P.H.' label is gone from one; this must have been the Robin Hood. Gazetteers ⁃ Not included in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 293-311.

- The Robin Hood in 1674. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-02-18. Revised by … The Sign of the Robin Hood was located in Butcher Row, which was later extended, widened and renamed first Great Bayly Street, then Queen Street. The tavern would have been located, at least in part, on the area covered by the pavement in front of the red-brick building (Queen Street 33-35) seen in the Google Street View photo shown elsewhere on this page. This can be inferred from information provided in Salter, H E 1913a, pp. 174, 178 (No. 269), 350-51, and the 'plan' of Oxford according to Wood shown elsewhere on this page. The property was owned by Balliol College, whose bursar noted details about leases, fines and rents in his Fine Book, begun about 1670. His entry on the property on part of which the Robin Hood was located must have been written some years after 1674 for the words "in 1674 (and so at the present)" to make sense (see Record cited below). His entries stop in 1686, when another …4 KB (645 words) - 00:59, 6 January 2021
- Little John's Farm By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Little John's Farm is situated between the Thames and the tracks of the Great Western Railway in an area that is now a well-known venue for outdoor concerts, most famously the annual Reading Festival. On O.S. maps of the area published in 1882, 1897 and 1899 (see Maps section below), the locality is indicated as "Little John's" tout court. The EPNS volume on this part of Berkshire also lists it under that short form but refers as its source to John Snare's c. 1846 map of Reading and environs on which the name is cited as "Little Johns Farm" (see Maps section below). Gelling, Margaret 1973a, pt. I, p. 178; p. xviii for source ref. expansion. I have found a slightly older source: the 1843 tithe award for Tilehurst lists the plot as "Little John'shomest d " (sic), i.e. Little John's homestead, with an area of 21 perches ( m 2 ), the owner a Knollys John Weldale, the occupier a John Clarke, leaving "State of …5 KB (705 words) - 01:01, 13 February 2021
