  • Approximate indication of the site of the southernmost tollgate, near which Robin Hood's Tree would have been located. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … According to local tradition, Robin Hood, standing on the mound on Limlow Hill just south of Litlington village, east of the road to Royston, shot an arrow that fell near the Old North Road, c. 2.5 km away near where the tollgate used to stand, at a spot formerly marked by an old thorn bush. I think the latter was identical with the Robin Hood's Tree mentioned in the 1811 Allusion cited below. According to the second Quotation below, the tollgate in the village of Kneesworth is first mentioned in 1714, and there was another tollgate c. 1 km south which has been suggested as an alternative location. A variant of the tradition has the arrow landing in Litlington Chalk Pit c. 700 metres W. of Limlow Hill. Robin Hood's prodigious shot is supposed to have been commemorated in the name of the Robin Hood & Little …

  • From east to west, localities discussed on this page: Stanley, Newton, Wakefield, Alverthorpe, Hipperholme, and Sowerby. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2015-07-11. Revised by … The Manor of Wakefield was a vast estate covering two large areas of the West Riding of Yorkshire. 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). An almost unbroken series of records of the manorial court exists from 1274 to 1925, when the manor was dissolved. See Yorkshire Archaeological Society: Wakefield Court Rolls. During the first half of the 14th century, families surnamed Hood with at least one member carrying the first name Robert were found in Wakefield, Alverthorpe, Stanley, Sowerby, and perhaps Sandal (see interactive map below).

  • Cox Street, Coventry. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-10-28. Revised by … The Robin Hood at 18 Cox Street, Coventry, was in existence from 1863 or earlier to 1929. According to the Real Ale Rambles site, the pub was named Kings Arms from 1822 to either 1850 Real Ale Rambles: The Robin Hood. or 1868 Real Ale Rambles: The Kings Arms. If any of these upper dates is correct, it must the former, for the Gazette for 8 Sep. 1863 includes a notice of the "Last Examination" of "Thomas Poultney, of the Robin Hood Inn, Cox-street, Coventry, in the county of Warwick, Licensed Victualler and Dealer in Tobacco, previously thereto of Hill Top, Coventry aforesaid, out of business, and before then of the White-Bear Inn, New-street, Coventry aforesaid, Licensed Victualler and Dealer in Tobacco, having been adjudged bankrupt".

  • The site of Robin Hood Court. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-06-26. Revised by … Robin Hood Court was located in the area immediately north of Silk Street and west of Milton Street, where now a large law firm has its headquarters. John Strype in 1720 (see Allusions below) mentions 'Haberdashers Square, very genteel, with new well built Houses. The Court is square, and inclosed in with Palisade Pales, except a handsome passage to the Houses round about; and in the midst is a Dial', adding that '[t]his Court was made out of two old ones, viz. Paviers Court, and Robin Hood Court'. Haberdashers' Square was situated a few tens of meters west of the long vanished Grub Street from which it was reached via a short alley that looks relatively narrow on John Rocque's 1746 map of London and Westminster (see map detail below). The point where this alley led west from Grub street seems to be very close to the entrance to the underground parking lot of the law firm. Henry Harben's …

  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-06-24. Revised by … A Robin Hood Court once existed at what is now English Grounds on the east side of Battle Bridge Lane on the Thames side of Tooley Street. It is first recorded on John Rocque's map of London and Westminster (1746). Rocque labels the locality "Robin Woods C[ourt]" (see map detail below). It appears to have been inadvertently included twice in the long list of London street and place-names in the Compleat Compting-House Companion (1763).

  • Robin Hood Street Close would have been in this neighbourhood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-08-15. Revised by … 'Robinhoodstreteclose' figures in the records as early as 1651. It must have been situated somwhere on the east side of Potovens or Wrenthorpe Lane. A. H. Smith treats the mention of this in the court roll of the Manor of Wakefield for 1651 as the earliest reference to a locality known in 1657 and later as Robin Hood Hill (see Records below). Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. II, p. 158, where the date is cited as 1650. However, rather than referring to the entire hill, the name probably referred to a close on the east side side of Potovens Lane, a street crossing Robin Hood's Hill in an area about equidistant from Wrenthorpe, Carr Gate and Outwood. This stretch of the lane was previously known as Robin Hood Hill Lane. On the east side of it formerly stood Robin Hood House, while at the north end of the hill, Robin Hood Bridge still takes Potovens Lane over the line …

At that time, Beacon Hill Rise was named Robin Hood Street.

  • Robin Hood Beck. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-09-09. Revised by … Robin Hood Beck in Bassenthwaite has its origin c. 150 m NE of the Robin Hood (Bassenthwaite) vicinity or passes the latter there. It runs under the road to Uldale at Robin Hood Beck Bridge, c. 1.3 km NE of Castle Inn on the B5291 and c. 600 m NNW of 'Robin Hood'. The only source I have found for this river name is the title of a 2005 photo by John Holmes on the Geograph site. Geograph: Robin Hood Beck Bridge. He seems to know the area well, The majority of his large portfolio of Geograph photos are from Cumberland. so most probably the name is in local use.

  • Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-08-30. Revised by … Robin Hood Farm is situated c. 2 km NE of Bassenthwaite Lake and c. 0.5 km NNW of Bassenthwaite village in an area labelled 'Robin Hood' on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1867 as well as subsequent revisions (see Maps section below). The name 'Robin Hood' may have originated as a name for the area, the present Robin Hood Cottage or, perhaps less likely, the farm. Not included on the O.S. maps, the name 'Robin Hood Farm' probably arose later, though hardly later than the 20th century, judging by the look of the sign next to the gate in the second photo in the Image Gallery below. About 225 m SSE of Robin Hood is found Robin Hood Wood. For other Robin Hood names in the vicinity, see Robin Hood (Bassenthwaite) and Bassenthwaite place-name cluster.
