== IRHB comments ==
Sumner was a painter and craftsman with a degree in law who developed a strong interest in the archaeology, geology and folklore of Hampshire. The printed book is essentially a facsimile of his handwritten MS, including his beautiful illustrations. One of these shows Robin Hood's Butt, which is also included on a map.<ref>{{:Sumner, Heywood 1987a}}, map p. 33, illus. p. 75, and see p. 146.</ref> The second Lord Normanton mentioned in the quotation was Welbore Ellis Agar (1778–1868).<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl_of_Normanton Wikipedia: Earl of Normanton.]</ref>
