There is a neat irony in the bishop's handing out alms near the spot where, according to the ballad of Robin Hood and the Bishop of Hereford, Robin Hood made the latter bishop dance round a tree after paying exorbitantly for his meal.

- West Tisted. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2015-08-30. Revised by … The records show two Robert le Hods resident and/or holding land in the Selborne area. The first, who figures as witness to several charters, had died by December 1236, See page named '1235 - Robert Lohod witness to charter '. when Joan, his widow, granted land and an advowson in West Tisted, Hampshire, to the prior and convent of Selborne. The surname is variously given as 'le Hote', 'Lohade', 'Lohod', 'Lohot', 'le Hod', 'le Hout' and (in the latest record, 1265) 'Lood'. It is perhaps natural to think that the Sir Robert le Hod who figures in 1240 was the son of the deceased man whose name appears slightly earlier in so many different spellings, but we cannot be certain of this unless further evidence comes to light. Robert le Hod of 1240 is styled 'Sir' and is explicitly referred to as a knight. In addition to the charters mentioning Robert le Hod, there are three that mention the lands bequeathed by his widow, …2 KB (371 words) - 02:07, 1 June 2022

- Mapledurham. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-09. Revised by … Record Source notes The item is No. 147 in the printed edition. Description of seal: "Oval green seal, almost perfect; as described with other grants by the same bishop." IRHB comments Note that in IRHB entry 1240 - Sir Robert le Hod witness to charter, the surname is spelt with a "d". Macray, in his index, op. cit., p. 109. treats these two R. Hods/Hotes as one and the same person. For examples of vacillation between 'Hod' and 'Hot' (a place-name), see Charlton, Lionel 1779a, pp 69, 72, 95 (ter). "Mapeldreham" is Mapledurham, an Oxfordshire village on the banks of the Thames. This Robert Hote/Hode has not been noted in Previous studies. Lists ⁃ Not included Sussex, Lucy 1994a.

In preceding and subsequent years there were church ales, king ales and choosing of a king and prince, the last church ale being in 1603. Marsh et al. op. cit., pp. 368-73.

- Robin Hood's Well. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-08-17. Revised by … Robin Hood's Well is or was located at the southern end of an arm of Low Bank Wood that stretches north along the west bank of River Kent. It was situated at a point approximately equidistant from Helsington, Natland, and Sedgwick. About 375 m NNE of the well is found Robin Hood's Island, a small wooded rock in River Kent, and immediately SE of the island on the east bank of the river is Robin Hood's Wood. The well is first recorded on 6" O.S. map Lancashire IX, published 1851-63, but based on surveying carried out 1847-58 (see Maps section below). It is not found on later 6" O.S. maps of the area that are online at NLS. A small island in a river may have appealed to a child's imagination, and perhaps these three localities were named by children playing in this area?
