  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-06-21. Revised by … A group of large, probably entirely natural, stones on the slope of Baildon Bank, above Baildon Green, was or is known as 'Robin Hood's House'. There are quite a few stones or areas of exposed rock in the vicnity, and it is by no means certain that the coordinate listed in the infobox and indicated on the interactive map point to the correct piece(s) of rock. However, the suggested coordinate cannot be off by many tens of meters. An old Yorkshire local historian writing in the early 20th century was convinced that Robin Hood's House was a cromlech. He believed some, but not all, of the stones had 'been placed in position by man' (see 1913 allusion below). A modern writer on Yorkshire traditions observes, in contrast, that there are no clear indications it was a burial chamber, and 'early antiquarians often misinterpreted natural features for artificial ones'.

  • Robin Hood (Wetheral) and Robin Hood (Cotehill) By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-02-05. Revised by … In the mid-19th century, an area of arable with a few patches of wood, east and southeast of the road to Brackenbank, west of River Eden, was known locally as 'Robin Hood'. The northernmost part of this area, situated in the township of Wetheral, stretched c. 200 m north-northwest along a stretch of the road to Brackenbank where it follows a course roughly parallel to River Eden. Along the eastern edge of this field were two patches of wood, both evidently now part of Brackenbank Wood. The land now belongs to Christmas tree grower Mapa Trees Carlisle. Accordign to teh 1840 tithe award, the landowner was then Thomas Wannop, Jr., the occupier John Watson.

Revised by … Robin Hood's Well is indicated on a 6" O.S. map of the Askerton–Bewcastle area published in 1868, based on surveying done in 1863. It is included on later revisions of the map at least until 1952 (see Maps section below). A writer in 2016 noted that a locality in the vicinity named the Butt is "[a]lso known as 'Robin Hood's Butt' (a possible reference to Robin Hood's Well nearby)", Geograph: The Butt near Gillalees Beacon (by Andrew Curtis). a phrasing which seems to suggest that the name 'Robin Hood's Well' is in current use.

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.

  • Robin Hood Junction, Forest of Dean By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-10-16. Revised by … The junction of the A4136 and B4228 in the Forest of Dean, north of Coleford, is known as the Robin Hood Junction. The junction is mentioned several times in a 2017 neighbourhood development plan. Forest of Dean District Council 2017a, pp. 79, 81, 93, 94, 95. The earliest online source revealed by a somewhat cursory search is a news item in a local newspaper from 2010. Abbs, Beverley 2010a An entry on the website of the Society for All British and Irish Road Enthusiasts notes that The junction was originally a sharp fork slightly to the north west of its current location but was re-modeled in the 1990s to the layout we see today. The original junction can be clearly seen on satellite images and on the B4228 approaching the A4136 as a gap in the trees. Part time traffic lights control the junction. It is not known to IRHB how long the junction has been named after the outlaw. However, …

  • 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 …

It figures with this name in the 1840 tithe award for the township of Cumwhinton and Coathill in the Parish of Wetheral, where its state of cultivation is listed as 'Wood', the landowner as John Armstrong, and the occupier as George Nelson. The area of the piece of wood was 6 acres, 2 roods and 18 perches ( m 2 ). The plot is listed under the "Hamlet of Coathill".

  • 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.

  • A plot of land here was known as 'Robin Hood Well' in 1840 By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-02-05.

  • Robin Hood's Grave. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-05-11. Revised by … Robin Hood's Grave is a cairn on Crosby Ravensworth Fell. The earliest occurrence of this place-name noted in A. H. Smith's Place-Names of Westmorland is an 1859 MS Ordnance Survey name book. Smith, Albert Hugh 1967a, pt. II, p. 161; and see pt. I, p. lxvi for source reference. Dobson & Taylor refer to an O.S. map of the same year. Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, p. 305, s.n. Robin Hood's Grave. See map at Old Maps.co.uk In fact, as may be seen from the allusion cited below, the name occurs in a slightly older source dated 1857. The Royal Commission on Historical Monuments noted in 1936 that the cairn had been "robbed of much of its stone". Lindsay, David 1936a, p. 90, item No. 50.

  • Barnsdale between Great Easton and Bringhurst. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-08-24. Revised by … A shallow valley between Great Easton and Bringhurst – two villages in the Harborough district of south-east Leicestershire – is known as Barnsdale. First mentioned in 1505, as 'Barnesdale', the name appears as an element in two derived toponyms: 'Barnsdale strete (infra villam de Eston)' (1547) and 'Barnesdale Soke' (1548). The former "refers to the lost Roman road [...] which ran from Via Devana (Gartree Road) at a junction just south-east of Medbourne via Drayton, Great Easton, Caldecott in Rutland and King's Cliffe in Northants. to meet Ermine Street at Durobrivae (Water Newton)". The first element in the name 'Barnsdale' is a reflex of either of the OE personal names 'Beorn' or 'Beornhard'. All this from Cox, Barrie 1998a, pt. IV, p. 74. Italics in quotes as in Cox. IRHB's ellipsis. For 1547 entry (20 Jan. 36 Henry VIII), see NAtional Archives: Grant: Henry …

  • The site of Ivanhoe Baths. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-05-08. Revised by … Ivanhoe Baths, housed in a Neoclassical building on Station Road in Ashby-dela-Zouch, opened in 1822. The building was derelict by 1960 and demolished in 1962. In 1805, a saline spring was discovered during coal mining at Moira Colliery, c. 5 km west of Ashby. Baths and a hotel were built, but after a few years it was decided to convey the water to Ashby and establish the business there instead under the name of the Ivanhoe Baths. Wikipedia: Ashby-de-la-Zouch. The spa was designed by Robert Chaplin and built by the first Marquis of Hastings. The building had a 45 m wide collonade in front and a classical dome which let in light for the saloon and pump room. There were card rooms, a billiards room as well as private baths for ladies and gentlemen. Remarkably the mineral water for the baths was transported to Ashby by boat and horse-drawn tramway from the spring at Moira colliery. The Bath Grounds …

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.

During the 1890's the establishment hosted events such as organ recitals, lectures, concerts and plays.

The mound, with some stone debris, is what remains of a Roman signal station which stood on the west side of the Maiden Way, a Roman Road from Birdoswald (by Hadrian's Wall) to Bewcastle. The foundations of a nearly square tower can be seen at the top. Based on the amount of debris it has been suggested that it was about 6 m high. Its walls of regularly coursed c. 85 cm thick stones were 3.5 to 6 m. wide externally. When the station was active, there was a ditch or drainage channel round the building, with a little causeway over or through it on the east side. The stone for the tower was supplied by two small quarries only 50 m to the west. Pastscape: Robin Hood's Butt. Robin Hood's Butt is first mentioned in 1598 (see Record below).

Mills in the English Place-Name Society's fourth volume on Dorset cites Kelly's Directory of 1939 as source and also, oddly enough, refers to a typescript calendar of records of Bridport for mention of a Robin Hood ale in a 1555 record. Mills, A David 1977a, pt. IV, p.360; and pt. I, pp. xiii, xx, for source references. It would have been somewhat remarkable if there had been any direct causal relationship between a feast arranged to bolster parish funds in 1555 and the existence of a public house first recorded in 1939, and there is in fact no reason to think that this was the case.

Robin Hood's Chair, a boulder in Trench Wood, c. 2 km SW of Baildon (West Yorkshire), is first recorded in 1851. The name and whereabouts of the Chair are largely, if not entirely, forgotten in the area. Author and blogger Kai Roberts describes the Chair as 'an earthfast boulder in which water has worn a natural cavity resembling a seat and where Victorian antiquarians suggested some local shaman or chief once sat'. He further notes that it is also sometimes known as Robin Hood's Seat and, perhaps less helpfully, that it is located 'about halfway down Shipley Glen'. Old Elmet Dreaming: My Folkloric Influences.

Revised by … Joseph Hunter noted in 1819 (see Allusions) that Robin Hood's Well had, "from time immemorial", been the name of a well near River Loxley. No one now seems to know where the well was located, but it is clear from Hunter that it was found somewhere very near the river in Little Matlock. Note that though they claim the well had long been named after Robin Hood, all surviving sources to mention it were written after Thomas Halliday landscaped Cliff Rocher into the summer outing spot Little Matlock. A well within the grounds connected with the outlaw "from time immemorial" must have been an added attraction. Gazetteers ⁃ Not included in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a.

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 …

  • The location of the pub in Wakefield is not known. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Braithwaite's allusions (see below) strongly suggest there was a public house named after the pinner in Wakefield itself in the 1630's. Of course this could be a case of poetic license, but given the pinder's popularity in this period it would be more surprising if there had not been a pulic house named after him in his hometown. I have assumed it was called the Pinder of Wakefield, but it may of course just as well have been named George à Greene. Presumably "Meedes" in the allusion under the heading "1638 - Braithwaite, Richard - Barnabee's Journal (5)" is "meads", and so the allusion is to the public house rather than the legendary character.

Revised by … Described in 1856 as a "narrow winding lane, which was formerly the bed of the Scire-beck" (see 1856 Allusion), Robin Hood's Walk is now a meandering residential street in Boston. First recorded in 1640, this street name has more recently, one assumes, inspired a cluster of Robin Hood-related street names in the immediate vicinity: Friar Way, Greenwood Drive, Locksley Close, Marian Road, Sheriff Way and Sherwood Avenue.

  • Sherwood Green. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-12-31. Revised by … Sherwood Green is a residential street in the village of Robin Hood in Wakefield. A 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1947, but based on a survey carried out in 1938, shows the street under construction (see Maps section below). Before then the area belonged to the Robin Hood Colliery. Given the predilection for Robin Hood-related place-names in the area it would seem a relatively certain guess that Sherwood Green owes its name to Sherwood Forest 's connection with the outlaw.

  • The site of Robin Hood's Well. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-19. Revised by … Includes information kindly provided by an anonymous contributor. A no longer existing Robin Hood's Well in Knutsford is first mentioned in 1847 and figures on maps published in 1882 and 1899. It was probably named after Robin Hood, a race horse belonging to a Matthew Miller. Henry Green in his Knutsford (see 1859 allusion below), tells us that over the well, presumably as an inscription or on a signboard, was the motto 'If Robin Hood be not at home | Stop and take a drink with little John'. Just beside the well was an enclosed mound and a stone on which the words 'Alas! poor Bob!' were engraved. On making enquiries, Green learned that the Robin Hood in question was a race horse which lay buried under the mound and that 'little John's drink' was strong ale rather than pure water. Perhaps unknown to Green, the motto over the well was a variant of a piece of verse that was inscribed near the …

This short street is named after Papplewick in Nottinghamshire, the home of Maudlin, a witch in Ben Jonson's Robin Hood-themed drama The Sad Shepherd. This rather slender connection with Robin Hood is reinforced locally – in Papplewick, not necessarily in Papplewick Close – by the claim that Allen a Dale was married or buried (or both) in Papplewick. With so many streets in the Tuckswood neighbourhood to be given Robin Hood-inspired names, imagination was given a free rein. Gazetteers ⁃ Not included in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 293-311.

It was situated in Hunt Yard, in the village of Great Horton (now a south-western ward of Bradford). In present day terms Hunt Yard is just west of Beckside Road and immediately north of Great Horton Road, an area where Great Horton Methodist Church is now located. If, as Cudworth seems to imply, the inn was named Robin Hood and Little John from the start, is it perhaps the oldest known inn to have carried that name?

  • Robin Hood's Caves. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-13. Revised by … Robin Hood's Cave is located at the eastern perimeter of Rock Cemetery in Nottingham, immediately west of Mansfield Road (A60). In the mid-19th century, as the area was being cleared and excavated to establish the cemetery, local clergyman George Oliver – in this very much a child of his time – was convinced that several of the caves found there, including Robin Hood's Cave, were part of an ancient druid temple. Nottingham Hidden History Team: Rev. George Oliver and Nottingham’s Druid Temple by Frank E. Earp. Reality has a habit of being prosaic. The caves were in fact a by-product of mining, during the 18th century and earlier, for sandstone which was ground to yield sand. Waltham, Tony 1994a. Until the cemetery was created, the area where Robin Hood's Cave is located was known as the Ropewalk as rope was made here (see Thomas Moore's painting reproduced below). In 1892, when the sand …

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. At a talk he gave to members of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society in 1906, the then owner of the Kirklees estate, George John Armytage, had this to say about the gatehouse: There is a mention of an old almshouse without the gate, and another, 40 feet long and 18 feet broad, by the beck side. This may refer to the present gate-house now standing [...]. This is supposed to be the house in which Robin Hood died, but that is another history, to which I do not propose to refer to-night. Mr. Bilson, however, thinks that this is a post-dissolution building. It has evidently been built at two different periods, the …

Dobson & Taylor, Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, p. 311. who provide the coordinates for this locality, note that the well is "[p]ossibly associated with Robin Hood's Bower and Moss ". This is due to a misunderstanding of their source, A. H. Smith, who actually does not suggest that there is any connection between these localities beyond the fact that they are named after Robin Hood. Smith, op. cit. in discussing the Moss and Bower makes a few brief remarks concerning Robin Hood place-names in general. In his notices of other Robin Hood-related place-names he often refers to these general remarks, which are thus made to serve, as it were, as an introduction to the topic of Robin Hood-related place-names.

  • Loxley Close. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-06-18. Revised by … Given its location on the southern outskirts of Barnsdale, it seems likely that the name of the short residential cul de sac Loxley Mount was inspired by Robin Hood's alias. The houses on Loxley Mount are all of fairly recent date, so a 20th (or 21st?) century date seems likely. A side street of Loxley Mount is named Sherwood Close.

Revised by … After the demise of Robin Hood at 807 Longbridge Road, Dagenham (formerly Essex, now Greater London) a Lidl was built there instead and, apparently in commemoration of the defunct pub, a fish & chips takeaway shop just around the corner, on Lodge Avenue, changed its name to Robin Hood Fish & Kebab Takeaway. This had happened by September of 2010. Closed Pubs: Essex: Dagenham: Robin Hood. A Google search shows that it is also known around the web as 'Robin Hood Fish Bar'.
