By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-04. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-07-25.
'Robinhoodstreteclose' is mentioned in Wakefield Court Rolls for 1651. A. H. Smith treats this as the earliest reference to a locality which is referred to in 1657 and later as Robin Hood Hill,[1] but it is hard to think of a reason why a close should be a hill or vice versa. They must have been two different localities, perhaps not far apart.
For want of a better option, the coordinate indicated on the Google map and cited in the fact box is that of Robin Hood Hill. Template:PnItemQry
