By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-10-10. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-12-22.
Robin Hood's Stable is a cave cut into sandstone, located c. 150 m NNE of Papplewick Hall. Neither Dobson & Taylor nor the English Place-Name Society's volume on Nottingham provide any references. The earliest source I have found so far is John Throsby's interesting description with its accompanying illustrations (see Allusions section below). The 'stable' is included on the 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1884 (see Maps section below)[1]
The Thoroton referred to in the 1790 allusion is Robert Thoroton, whose Antiquities of Nottinghamshire (1677) was expanded almost beyond recognition by John Throsby in 1790 (see Sources and Background sections below). Template:PnItemQry
