- Short introduction We hope that this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand name. It is called 'International' because in addition to the vast amount of material that exists in English, we intend to add information about materials in other languages such as translations of ballads, secondary literature, children's fiction, literature on foreign analogues of Robin Hood etc. Arguably 'Bibliography' is a misnomer as the site already includes a wealth of all sorts of information one would not normally expect to find in a bibliography, but the bibliographical aspect is in all cases taken quite seriously, and there is already a wiki named the Robin Hood Wiki, so another name had to be found for the site.

- Brize Norton where Robinhoods Close was located. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-02-13. Revised by … 'Robinhoods Close' figures as a Brize Norton field name in a 1777 enclosure award. Margaret Gelling makes an interesting suggestion with regard to its etymology, noting that "Robinhood is used in dialect of several Plants". Gelling, Margaret 1953a, pt. II, p. 308, and see p. 306 for the township, … (see section 'Also see' below). The suggested etymology would imply that the Plant name was in use nearly 80 years before the first certain record, which may of course well have been the case. As one would expect, field names inspired by local vegetation are very common. Thus …4 KB (558 words) - 00:57, 6 January 2021
- 'Robin Hood' was (part of) the name or description of four plots of land in Royston. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-15-11. Revised by … Robin Hood occurs as a field name or characterization of no less than four plots of land in the 1845 MS tithe award for Royston, which is now a suburban village within the Metropolitan borough of Barnsley. Three of the plots form one continuous area, while the fourth, entered separately at IRHB as Robin Hood (Royston, Barnsley) (1), is situated slightly north-west of them, the distance between it and the nearest 'Robin Hood' plot being no more than c. 35 m. The three connected plots, here treated as one area in view of their common name, and the adjacent fourth plot are best discussed together. The details provided for each in the tithe award, together with the corresponding field numbers in the earliest 25" O.S. maps (for which see below), are as follows: Plot No. 158. Name and Description of Lands and Premises: 'Humple & Robin Hood'. …11 KB (1,561 words) - 19:15, 22 April 2022
- Robin Hood Inn. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Around 1800, the Reverend Thomas Halliday, a local Unitarian minister and something of an entrepreneur, was so struck by the beauty, and similarity to Matlock in Derbyshire, of a spot along River Loxley then known as Cliff Rocher that he set out to transform it into Little Matlock, a name it retains to this day. Not content with altering the name, Halliday, spending his wife's inheritance, had stairs and paths cut into the rock and let trees and shrubs Plant in order to accentuate the similarity to the picturesque valley in Derbyshire. The area was then opened to the public and for a few years attracted large numbers of visitors from Sheffield every summer. In 1799 or 1804, Cf. the pub's website, which is no longer online but archived (without photos) at The Wayback Machine.
