A bow which reputedly belonged to Robin Hood is kept at Renishaw Hall. It was bought at auction in 1949 by the estate's then owner, the author Sir Reresby Sitwell, complete with a mid-17th century hand-written attestation of provenance.
According to a booklet that can be purchased at Renisha Hall, the bow was sold to the author at an auction in Worksop in November 1949 as he was willing to pay more for the relic than another bidder who was acting on behalf of Nottingham Corporation. Template:PnItemQry
