- The Robin Hood. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-10-16. Revised by … Robin Hood Lane is a footpath from St Michael's Hill (immediately north of No. 56) to Horfield Road in Bristol. The name would seem to be of 18th century date if not older. The earliest record so far found dates from 1824. Evans, John 1824a, pp. xxii, xxiii. 56 St Michael's Hill is the address of the Robin Hood, a pub which first appears in the Records in 1848 but cannot be older than 1841, at which time there was a carpenter's shop there. Before that the building was home to a grocer's shop.

According to a local tradition inspired by the ballad of Robin Hood's Birth, Breeding, Valor and Marriage, Robin Hood and Maid Marian were betrothed under the ample branches of an old, large and still living yew tree in the churchyard in Doveridge. This famous tree, now supported by props and chains, is widely believed to be at least a thousand years old, but since its heartwood has seriously decayed, it is difficult to determine its age. Geograph: SK1134:: The Doveridge Yew – Trunk.

The card is undated, but one specimen is postmarked Oct. 18, 1906. Designed by acclaimed architect and pier builder Eugenius Birch (1818-84), the Brighton Aquarium opened in august 1872. Apart from the aquarium, the complex contained a reading room, restaurant and conservatory. In a couple of years a roof terrace garden, roller skating rink, smoking room and music conservatory had been added. During the 1890's the establishment hosted events such as organ recitals, lectures, concerts and plays. But there was also a good deal of light entertainment, for the acts booked during the period c. 1873-88 included comedians, singers, minstrels, magicians, acrobats, clowns, ventriloquists, puppeteers, living statuary, animal acts, swimmers, and skaters.

- Robin Hood's Butts. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-06-04. Revised by … Photo courtesy Tim Prevett, MA, producer, consultant and lecturer on slow TV. 'Robin Hood's Butts' is the name of two adjacent Bronze Age bowl barrows in the northern area of the Long Mynd, near Duckley Nab, c. 3 km west of All Stretton. According to Dobson & Taylor, the name was applied to "[a] group of tumuli on the edge of the Long Mynd". Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, p. 303, s.n. Robin Hood's Butts [1]. However, while more than twenty mounds, referred to collectively as the Long Mynd Barrows, are scattered over the plateau, Wikipedia: Long Mynd. the name 'Robin Hood's Butts' seems to be quite consistently applied to only two of them.

The etymology of the name is ' [f]ortification on the Don '. The form 'Donkesly', used in De Worde's edition of the Gest (st. 456), is not recorded by Smith who does, however, cite the form 'Doncastell' (1418). Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. 1, p. 29. In 1248, the town was granted a market to be held in the area around the Church of St Mary Magdalene; the market is still held.

While the coppice is not included on any of the 6" O.S. maps of the area online at NLS, the maps, published 1884 to c. 1849, all include Little John Birch tout court.

Also included on the maps is Big John Birch (see allusion below), which stood c. 300 m ESE of Little John Birch (Coppice).

- 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.

- 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.

Revised by … The first certain record of Robin Hood Ball near Netheravon is Andrews's and Dury's 1773 map of Wiltshire, where it occurs as 'Robin Wood Ball'. Andrews, John 1773a, sheet [5]. Online version at Mcmaster University Library: Digital archive, see sheet 5, rectangles [7]-[8]. Also see map detail reproduced on the present page. The name refers sometimes to a neolithic feature just north of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site, Wikipedia: Robin Hood's Ball. sometimes to a small wooded area within which the neolithic site is located, and also erroneously to a tumulus a little SE of the wooded area and a larger earthwork c. 350 m SW of the coppice.

- The site of Robin Hood's Well. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-10-15. Revised by … Robin Hood's Well a.k.a. St Ann's Well was located in the north-eastern neighbourhood of Nottingham now known as St Ann, an area that was once part of Sherwood Forest and retained a bucolic character until the mid-19th century. Nottingham Hidden History Team: St Ann's Well by Joe Earp. The well, known by several names, played an important role in Nottingham civic life over the centuries. From the late 1550s on, borough Records list expenses relating to a procession of the mayor and members of the civic administration, wearing their official liveries and accompanied by musicians, to the well for a festive dinner in or outside the adjacent woodward's house. The history of the well from the mid-16th century to its destruction in the late 19th century is intertwined with that of the woodward's house, so both are treated together here. Names of the well The well is perhaps referred to in …29 KB (4,728 words) - 03:53, 12 February 2021
- Loxley, near Bramshall. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-10-18. Revised by … Allusion LOCHELER, OR LOCKESLEID. Loxley, in the parish of Uttoxeter, on the west, is an old Saxon name, and a place of considerable interest. It was a grant from the Crown to Robert de Ferrars, first Earl of Derby, who died in 1184. By the second Earl William, it was granted to his younger son Wakelin, and it was held by a Robert, an Alan, a Thomas, and Henry. From an inquisition taken after 1297, it appears that Loxley manor was held by the heirs of Thomas de Ferrars, who was the youngest son of William, third earl of Derby, who did homage for Chartley, which was exchanged by Thomas with his brother for Loxley. There is a blank here in this branch for one generation at least, and therefore the second Thomas, whose daughter Johanna, as sole heiress, brought Loxley to the Kynersleys by marriage in 1327 with John de Kynnardsley, must have been of a third generation from the first Thomas.
