Robin Hood House.
Robin Hood House, once an inn – the Robin Hood – then a private residence, now a privately owned and run dementia care home / Benslow Care Homes: Robin Hood House.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-08-25. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-09-03.
Robin Hood House was originally a village pub, the Robin Hood, but was subsequently converted into a private residence and greatly expanded. It now functions as a dementia care home, owned and run by Benslow Care Homes.
As can be seen on the Google map of the county on the page on Hertfordshire place-names, Robin Hood House is just outside the historical Hertfordshire/Buckinghamshire border according to the boundary data provided by the Historic Counties Trust. I follow the Victoria County History which includes it in Hertfordshire (1908).[1] It is certainly now in Hertfordshire.[2]
In the 6" O.S. map Hertfordshire XXVI, published 1883-84 (see Maps below), the name is cited as 'Robinhood House'. Template:PnItemQry
Quotations
[1908:]
Following the high road north from Hemel Hempstead may be seen near the beginning of the village Robin Hood House, a large old house of timber and stucco. It was once the Robin Hood village public-house, but has been greatly added to, and is now the residence of Mr. Alexander Murray-Smith.[3]
[1911:]
Robin Hood House, originally an inn, stands at the end of the village, ¾ mile S. of the church. It is a two-storeyed building with attics, and is covered with cement; the roofs are tiled. It is probably of the 17th century, but the only old features now visible are some beams in the ceilings and some flat, shaped balusters in a staircase leading from the first
floor to the attics.
Condition—Good.[4]
