  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-23. Revised by … Allusion IRHB comments According to W.C. Lefroy, who cites John Richard Walbran as his source, Walter Scott wrote these lines as an inscription for an arch which was to be built over Robin Hood's Well in the Fountains Abbey grounds. During a visit he was so fascinated with the story of Robin Hood's fight with, and subsequent ducking in the Skell by, the Curtal Friar within the abbey grounds close to the well that he suggested to Elizabeth Sophia Lawrence, the owner of the abbey grounds and ruins, that a cover or house be built over the well. This was done, but apparently without the inscription. Walbran (1817-69), among whose papers this story and the lines attributed to Scott are found, was a leading 19th century authority on Fountains Abbey, and the story may be true, but it is not mentioned in any of Scott's letters or by his chief biographer.

The pub was at 18 Queen Street. While there are currently several Queen streets in Bristol, that in Bedminster no longer exists.

It is not found on any of the 6" O.S. maps of the area available online at NLS; no doubt it was constructed sometime in the 20th century.

This allusion has not been noted in previous studies. Lists ⁃ Not in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 315-19. ⁃ Outside scope of: Sussex, Lucy 1994a. Background ⁃ Wikipedia: John Cosin Notes
