- Robin Hood's Arbour. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-20. Revised by … Robin Hood's Arbour is a square prehistoric earthwork in Maidenhead Thicket, which by the late 17th century was known as 'Robin Hood's Bower', an alternative name still in use today. Bannard described the location as follows in 1931: "It is close against the private road that runs from the Henley road to Stubbings House. It is in sight of the Lodge and about 300 yards south-east of it. It is in the angle of the road to Stubbings and the grass track which crosses it, and is barely 30 yards south of the latter". Bannard, H E 1931a; see p. 65. The site was first discussed by Charles Kerry (1861), who concluded from what he considered its "well-known features of Roman castramentation" that Robin Hood's Arbour was of Roman construction, an idea that persisted well into the 20th century. Cotton, M Aylwin 1961b; see pp. 1-2. Mrs M. Cotton Aylwin, who made the first modern archaeological excavation of the site …13 KB (2,106 words) - 11:51, 21 March 2021

In addition to Wakefield, townships within the manor included Stansfield, Heptonstall, Northowram, Hipperholme, Brighouse, Clifton, Hartshead, Dewsbury, Ossett, Sandal, Walton, Holme, Shepley, etc. (see map of the estate).
