<!--USE THIS: The garland version of the ballad of ''[[Robin Hood's Death]]'' (''c.'' 1767) includes the earliest version of the famous death scene where Robin Hood shoots an arrow at random, asking to be buried where it lands. Although the ballad does not say so, it was a widespread belief that the [[Kirklees Gatehouse (Kirklees Priory)|Gatehouse at Kirklees Priory]] was the scene of his death. Several other pairs of localities are connected in popular tradition through arrows shot by Robin Hood and/or Little John.
