Record
[1532/33:]
Recd xxxviijs iiijd of Richd Som: beyng Robyn Whode anno xxiiij[1]
Source notes
"In all probability the proceeds of a collection made by 'Robin Hood' on May Day."[2] The amount xxxviijs iiijd (38s. 4d.) equals £1.92.
IRHB comments
This reference seems to have been overlooked by previous writers on pre-Restoration drama and the Robin Hood tradition.
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.[3] The forthcoming REED volume on Wiltshire, being edited by Rosalind Hays, will very likely reveal new facts about Robin Hood festivals at this locality.
