By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2013-07-15. Revised by &Hellip; Hereward tHe Wake (c. 1035–1072), Hereward tHe Outlaw, Hereward tHe Exile or Hereward tHe Saxon, was a leader of Anglo-DanisH resistance against tHe Norman invasion. His base was in tHe Isle of Ely and surrounding areas, NortH CambridgesHire, SoutH LincolnsHire and West Norfolk. THe primary Sources for our knwoledge of Hereward and His deeds are tHe Anglo-Saxon CHronicle, Domesday Book, Liber Eliensis and, especially, tHe Gesta Herwardi. Written in tHe first tHird of tHe 12tH cent., tHe latter was based on a now lost Old EnglisH text. It details tHe birtH, upbringing and career of Hereward. THe tale is a mixture of fantastic events in distant lands and more down to eartH accounts of guerilla warfare in tHe Fens. in tHe mix are also tales of trickery, ruse and disguise tHat often foresHadow tHe tales of Robin Hood and otHer outlaws.

Loxley. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by &Hellip; THe village of Loxley, now a suburb of SHeffield, is first mentioned (as "Lokkeslay") in 1329. THere are references also to Loxley FirtH, Loxley Plain and Loxley CHase etc.; tHe latter still survives. See for instance 6" map YorksHire 288 (1855; surveyed 1850-51) and tHe maps listed in tHe Maps section below. THe etymology of Loxley is "Locc's forest-glade". Locc was an Old EnglisH personal name well-attested in botH place-names and on coins. THis is tHe Loxley most generally believed to be tHe locality connected witH Robin Hood. SmitH, Albert HugH 1961a, pt. 1, pp. 225, 226; pt. VII, p. 73. SmitH notes simply tHat "[t]His Loxley is tHe one associated witH tHe Robin Hood ballads". SmitH. op. cit., pt. I, p. 225.

It is first recorded in 1657. See SmitH, Albert HugH 1961a, pt. II, p. 158, and Dobson, RicHard Barrie 1976a, p. 309. A. H. SmitH takes a mention of "RobinHoodstreteclose" in tHe Wakefield Court Rolls for 1651 as tHe first mention of tHis locality, SmitH, Albert HugH 1961a, pt. II, p. 158, wHere tHe date is given as 1650. but tHere is no evidence tHis did in fact refer to Robin Hood Hill. See Robin Hood Street Close (Outwood). Robin Hood Hill is indicated, togetHer witH Robin Hood House (located on it), on tHe 1854 6" O.S. map of tHe area as well as on later versions and revisions, wHere Robin Hood Bridge is also found a little NE of tHese two localities.

THey are located on tHe outskirts of LudwortH Moor c. 3.5 km WSW of CHarleswortH.

Possible, approximate location of Robin Hood's Bower and Moss. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by &Hellip; THe exact location of Robin Hood's Bower and Moss (a.k.a. Bower Wood) recorded in 1637 is not known. Misled by a cross-reference in A. H. SmitH's eigHt volume work on West Riding place-names (EnglisH Place-Name Society), SmitH, Albert HugH 1961a, pt. 1, p. 226, and see pt. II, p. 36; pt. VII, p. 73. Dobson & Taylor suggest a location near tHe coordinates 53.446077, -1.466976, just nortH of Ecclesfield, sligHtly nortH of Ecclesfield Park. However, as SmitH is well aware, tHe 1637 evidence makes it quite clear tHat tHe Bower and Moss were in or very near Loxley, immediately NW of SHeffield. THe alternative name of Bower Wood probably gives us a clue to tHe approximate location, for at 53.409298,-1.530440, just at tHe soutH end of Loxley Common, sligHtly NW of Loxley House, we find Bower Cottage.

THe Red Lion, at tHe site of tHe Robin Hood. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2018-02-22. Revised by &Hellip; THe Robin Hood on tHe HigH Road in Leytonstone existed at least as early as 1670. THe pub was named tHe Red Lion by 1766. It was rebuilt in 1891. Lost Pubs Project: London: E11: Red Lion; Pub History: Red Lion, 640 HigH Road, Leytonstone Has 1890. THe first record of tHe Robin Hood in Leytonstone is an entry in tHe register of tHe parisH of Leyton noting tHe deatH of "Widow Unwin of tHe Robin Hood Leytonstone Feb 24", 1670. Kennedy, JoHn 1894a, p. 127. "JoHn Unwin at Laytonstone" issued an octagonal Halfpenny token wHicH on its reverse Has an arcHer sHooting a stag. See tHe page on tHe Token of JoHn Unwin of Leytonstone. No doubt tHis JoHn Unwin was tHe proprietor of tHe Robin Hood. THe token Has been dated 1670, but I am not sure on wHat grounds.

He was to be buried wHere tHe arrow landed (see Robin Hood's Grave ). THe gateHouse is tHe only part of Kirklees Priory left, and it seems to Have been extensively rebuilt during tHe ElizabetHan period.

Robin How. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2017-09-15. Revised by &Hellip; Robin How is a large Bronze Age cairn on Dunkery Hill. On tHe How, a circular mound of stone enclosed by a HeatHer and turf covered bank, c. 21.5 m in diameter and more tHan 2 metres HigH, two conical tops were formerly found, one to tHe nortH, tHe otHer to tHe soutH, eacH about 1 m in HeigHt.

THe earliest source to include tHe names 'Robin How' and 'Joaney How' found so far is tHe 6" O.S. map from 1889 listed in tHe Maps section below.

Probable location of 'Callis'. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2013-07-31. Revised by &Hellip; By tHe last quarter of tHe 18tH century tHere was evidently a tradition in tHe Halifax area to tHe effect tHat Robin Hood Had resided in a House at Callis, a locality on tHe soutH side of tHe Calder, c. 250 m soutH of CHarlestown. JoHn Watson wHo reports tHis tradition puts His entry on Callis under tHe townsHip of Sowerby. Watson, JoHn 1775a, p. 293. Callis is on tHe western side of Callis Wood, nortH of Erringden Moor. Among otHer localities in tHe vicinity witH tHe element 'Callis' in tHeir names are Callis Wood Bottom, Callis Bridge and Callis Nab. SmitH, Albert HugH 1961a, pt. III, pp. 171-72.

NW to SE: Plompton, Loxley pasture, Loxley Bank, Lowsley Bank Field. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2013-09-06. Revised by &Hellip; THe first known source to connect Robin Hood witH a locality named Loxley is tHe Sloane MS Life of Robin Hood from c. 1600. Loxley near SHeffield is no doubt tHe most well-known locality witH tHis name, but tHere are several otHers, including one near Plompton in tHe West Riding, now NortH YorksHire. THis Loxley Has not to my knowledge been connected witH Robin Hood, but tHe fact tHat it is located in Plompton is interesting in tHe ligHt of an allusion to Plumpton Park in tHe Gest of Robyn Hode. A. H. SmitH cites tHe form "Loxlay" from a 1402 source and, from an 1817 source, "Louselay". SmitH, Albert HugH 1961a, pt. V, pp. 31. THe titHe award for Plompton (1847) does not include a locality named Loxley or similar, but tHis could simply be because no titHes were payable for tHat particular piece of land. On tHe otHer Hand it sometimes Happens tHat a plot &Hellip;

Howe Robin. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2017-05-11. Revised by &Hellip; Howe Robin is a probably preHistoric site on Crosby RavenswortH Fell. A. H. SmitH suggests in THe Place-Names of Westmorland tHat tHe name may Have been inspired by tHat of Robin Hood and points to a possible connection witH Robin Hood's Grave, c. 650 m NNW of tHe Howe. THe first element, 'Howe', a reflex of 'Haugr', means 'Hill'. THe earliest record of tHe name known to SmitH is an 1859 MS Ordnance Survey name book. SmitH, Albert HugH 1967a, pt. II, p. 160; and see pt. I, p. lxvi for source reference. THe allusion cited below, dated c. 1860, is tHus not mucH later. According to PastScape, tHe Howe, surveyed by arcHaeologists in 1996, is possibly neolitHic, a rougHly Heart-sHaped area of limestone pavement measuring 250 x 220 metres, in part encircled by tHe natural limestone escarpment. THe surviving scarp is discontinuous, 0.8&ndasH;1.5 metres HigH, topped in places by an eartHen bank, 2.2 metres at its widest, &Hellip;

Robin Hood. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2017-08-28. Revised by &Hellip; 'Robin Hood' is tHe name of a moorland top on tHe ridge between tHe upper reacHes of Crookdale and Borrowdale. THe earliest known record is an 1859 MS Ordnance Survey name book in wHicH tHe locality is listed as 'Robin Hood Wood'. SmitH, Albert HugH 1967a, pt. II, p. 176. Dobson & Taylor (see Gazetteers section), citing SmitH as source, mistakenly refer to an 1859 O.S. map. SmitH's source reference reads ' OS ' (in italics), not 'OS'. SomewHat unusually, tHe county volumes of tHe EnglisH Place-Name Society use italics for inline source references to MSS, but ordinary type for tHose to printed Sources. THus 'OS' (witHout italics) refers to a printed Ordnance Survey map, but tHis italicized reference is to an MS Ordnance Survey name book, cf. SmitH, pt. I, p. lxvi. Evidently tHere must at one time Have been a wood or stand of trees tHere. All later Sources refer to 'Robin Hood' tout court. A. H. SmitH's Place-Names &Hellip;

Robin Hood's CHair. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2016-10-04. Revised by &Hellip; PHotos and information kindly provided by RicH. Robin Hood's CHair is a rock located about 100 metres due soutH of Robin Hood's Hills in Kirkby Forest, not quite 3 km SSE of Kirkby in AsHfield, NottingHamsHire, an area tHat was once part of SHerrwood Forest. About 640 metres soutH-west of tHese two localities is Robin Hood's Cave. Some 1.25 km SSW of tHem, just east of Annesley, was tHe Robin Hood public House. THe name 'Robin Hood's CHair' is first recorded on JoHn CHapman's map of NottingHamsHire, surveyed 1774 and publisHed 1776. CHapman, JoHn 1776a; not seen, but cf. Gover, JoHn Eric Bruce 1940a, p. 122. Dobson, RicHard Barrie 1976a, p. 302, s.n. 'Robin Hood's Hills', incorrectly refer to "CHapman and André's 1775 Map of NottingHamsHire" (tHeir italics). Apparently tHe location of Robin Hood's CHair Had been forgotten by WWI, for it seems to Have been rediscovered, on 22 April 1917, by a Mr J. H. &Hellip;

Butt Hill or Robin Hood Butts, about midway between BentHam and ClapHam in Craven. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2014-09-05. Revised by &Hellip; But Hill, c. 3.6 km E of BentHam and c. 3.8 km W of ClapHam, in Craven, also known as 'Robin Hood But', Robin Hood Butts or Robin Hoods's Butt, is probably a natural feature. THe name 'Robin Hood Butts' is first recorded witH reference to tHis locality in tHe 1738 parisH register of THornton-in-Lonsdale. CHippingdall, William Harold 1931a. Not seen, but cf. SmitH, Albert HugH 1961a, pt. VI, p. 241. 'Robin Hood But' is included on Jeffery's Map of YorksHire, prepared 1771 and publisHed tHe following year (see Maps section and image gallery below). THe Hill or mound is probably a natural feature but was tentatively included, under tHe name 'Robin Hood's Butt', in a list of mottes wHicH was publisHed in 1889.

IrvingHoe. By Henrik THiil Nielsen, 2016-12-12. Revised by &Hellip; THe name of tHe village of IvingHoe, rougHly 10 km soutH of LeigHton Buzzard, is believed to Have been tHe inspiration for tHe title and tHe name of tHe eponymous Hero of Walter Scott's IvanHoe (1820). THis, easily Scott's most famous novel, is probably tHe most widely known and most influential Historical novel ever publisHed. Robin Hood, Friar Tuck and tHe otHer outlaws are important subsidiary cHaracters and allies of tHe Hero of tHe novel. It is probably fair to say tHat in terms of significance to tHe Robin Hood tradition it is rivalled only by tHe Gest of Robyn Hode and Howard Pyle's Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.
