IRHB comments
The 'Robin Hood rents' are in all probability the rents from houses in Robinhood Alley aka Robin Hood Court long existing on the NW side of Borough High Street, then Blackman Street, Southwark. For another reference to this court or alley, see 1720 - Strype, John - Survey of London and Westminster (12).
