- Robin Hood, Wharton By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-04-22. Revised by … A plot of land in Wharton, bounded by Bostock Road (A533) to the east and north and by an industrial estate on the west, was known as 'Robin Hood' in 1838. It figures in the tithe award for the township of Wharton in the parish of Davenham (1838) as 'Robin hood' (sic), with James France France (sic), Esq., as landowner and Thomas Alwood as occupier. Its state of cultivation is given as 'Pasture', its area as 15 acres, 3 roods and 35 perches ( m 2 ).

- Plumpton Park, Stow By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2023-05-18. Revised by … In the Gest, King Edward is exasperated at noticing the scarcity of deer in Plumpton Park after Robin and his men have been poaching there during their stay with the knight. We should almost certainly take this to be in Lancashire, but it could just possibly be some place King Edward is meant to have visited after his progress in Lancashire. As Lincolnshire is a neighbouring county it is conceivable, though not likely, that a Plumpton Park in that county may have been intended. Two plots of land in Stow (c. 12 km NW of Lincoln), were known as Plumpton Park in 1839. The southernmost of these, the topic of this entry, was situated c. 125 m S of St Mary's Church, west of Sturton Road, in the wooded area west of the gardens, east of the field. The 1839 tithe award for the parish of 'Stowe' lists George Archer Bellwood as landowner and Thomas Page as occupier. 'Plumpton Parke' is listed under 'Name and …4 KB (597 words) - 13:02, 18 May 2023

- Robin Hood Dip. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Robin Hood Dip is a local name for a pool in a park across the High Street from a pub known since c. 1960 as Robin Hood & Little John but more recently renamed the Robin Hood. Presumably it was the proximity to the pub that inspired the name Robin Hood Dip, which would therefore have arisen c. 1960 or later. In the 'dip' is a tiny island called the Giant's Grave. It is thought that the giant in question was Gogmagog. Robin Hood Dip is also known locally as the Springhead or the Spring. In the 19th century, this natural well supplied water to the city of Cambridge. Of a small bridge which then led to the island only two large stones now remain.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-09-07. Revised by … 'Robertsmen', in primary use in sources dating from the 14th to the 17th century, and subsequently used mainly historically, as a synonym for 'robbers'. Recorded spellings include Robert(e)s men, Roberd(e)smen, Robersmen and Robert's men; rarely used in the singular (e.g. Roberdesman). As the OED notes, the first element of the word is apparently the genitive of the proper name 'Robert' (or 'Roberd'), while the last element is (of course) the common noun man. The dictionary explains 'Roberdsmen' as a term for 'marauding vagrants or outlaws' in 14th century England, noting that it has been popularly taken as alluding to Robin Hood. While it is easy to see why the latter interpretation should have arisen, this cannot very well reflect the actual etymology of the term. As the OED notes, the first element is Robert, not Robin, and two 13th century sources use the Christian name 'Robert' ('Robertus') as a designation for a robber. …2 KB (303 words) - 13:55, 11 February 2021
