The Robin Hood, a.k.a. the Robin Hood Inn, c. 1.8 km SSW of Distington, is indicated on a map in an 1839 book on the Lake District.[1] A much to only slightly earlier record of the pub is found in a collection of Distington deeds from 1713/14–1837 at Cumbria Archive Centre, Carlisle.[2] In 1901, the Robin Hood was run by a William Crone.[3] It existed at least as late as 1947.[4] While the former pub now seems to be a family home, it is (also) listed as a small business under the name of Robin Hood Cottage.[5]
