- Lydd. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Record Source notes The MS record is in Latin. The amount 9s. 2d. equals £. IRHB comments The entry just possibly concerns a Robin Hood play or game (assuming the original Latin word was 'ludus', 'game' is as good a translation as 'play'). Because archery ranges usually had one or more butts at either end, the entire archery grounds were often referred to as "the butts". OED2, s.n. butt n. 4, 2. a. If the Latin of the original record reflects this usage, the entry may simply indicate that the archery grounds were to be used as the venue for the play or game, and in this case there is no particular reason to think that it was a Robin Hood-related event. On the other hand, a Robin Hood event would seem likely if "butts" refer to the actual archery target mounds. For butts, see further the page on places named Robin Hood's Butts.

'Bow-lane, Poplar'. – it ran parallel to Cotton Street – this was c. 1.2 km from Bromley-by-Bow. Would it have been natural at this time to describe a road in Poplar as near Bromley?

This is indeed what a literal reading of Evelyn's jottings would sugggest, but as he had spent the previous night at Doncaster and in view of the paraphernalia at the well, there is no reasonable doubt he was referring to the famous Robin Hood's Well in or just south of Barnsdale. In this period stopping for a drink at the well was de rigeur for fashionable travellers along the Great North Road.

It is called " Robin Hood's butts," and the place from whence he is said to have shot his arrows from the trusty bow, is placed at the White Gate on the Stubwood. This low is but slightly elevated above the surrounding surface. Fragments of swords are said to have been turned up near it, in the course of draining operations which have been carried on. There is a tradition current among the peasantry, that a battle was at one time fought at Low Fields, and the appearance of the low would lead one to the belief that it is a Saxon barrow, and may form part of a cemetery of that period.

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.

Not only that, it is the first absolutely certain (or certainly relevant) reference of any kind we have to the famous outlaw.

He prefers "ydel tales at þe Ale" Langland. op. cit., p. 331 (Passus V, l. 403). to God's word. The allusion tells us three things about Robin Hood: ⁃ poems about him existed in 1377 ⁃ they were well-known ⁃ they were regarded as "idle tales", examples of bad (secular) taste.

I have previously attempted, when speaking of Roman ways, to show how it may have acquired the name of Maiden's Well. At the same time the name may be a corruption from Mai-din, a British word applied to a fort.

The well is now enclosed in a field, but formerly it was evidently open to the road, and a wide space of the bank side of the land has been removed on its account, and although this escarpment round or along the back of the well is much worn and broken, it [p. 348:] may have formed the vallum or wall, from which Wall Well is derived.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-09-12. Revised by … Allusion IRHB comments The title of Thomas Hall's pamphlet, Funebria Floræ, means "the Funeral of Flora". It has the wonderful subtitle "The Downfall of May-Games: wherein Is set forth the rudeness, prophaneness, stealing, drinking, fighting, dancing, whoring, mis-rule, mis-spence of precious time, contempt of God, and godly Magistrats, Ministers and People, which oppose the Rascality and rout, in this their open prophaneness, and Heathenish Customs." (etc.) In view of the tone of this title, banishment, the punishment meted out to Flora at Thomas Hall's imaginary court, seems relatively lenient. May games may at times have been rowdy affairs, but on the other hand the jury by which our Roman goddess is here judged is far from impartial.

Robin Hood Deep Pit was one of the two pits operated at the Robin Hood Iron Mine in the Forest of Dean. The mine is said to have started in 1871 and was certainly in operation by 1884, but IRHB is not aware if the deep pit dates from that time. According to Wikipedia's article on the village of Coleford, the mine began operation in 1871, Wikipedia: Staunton, near Coleford, Gloucestershire. and this may well be correct though no source is cited. The mine was certainly in operation by 1884, probably by 1880, for it is shown on a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1884, based on surveying carried out 1879-80 (see Maps below).

Andrew of Wyntoun's Original Chronicle, so called because it begins with the Creation, was completed c. 1420. It is preserved in nine MSS. The variant readings for this passage are insignificant. Laing thought this passage refers to Robin Hood, Wyntoun, Andrew of 1872a, vol. III, p. 415, s.n. "Hude, Robyn". and some modern scholars would also like to believe so See Bradbury, Jim 2010a, pp. 172-73, 186-87.. However, this is unlikely for several reasons. Wyntoun has already mentioned Robin Hood in an earlier passage, where he puts the activities of Robin Hood and Little John under the year 1283, and whatever little he has to say about them there suggests all he knew were traditional tales. On the other hand, the present passage puts "Hwde" firmly in an historical context, one that is Scottish and sixty odd years later than that of the earlier, genuine Robin …3 KB (572 words) - 18:38, 7 January 2021

Jamieson, the editor of the 1874 edition of The Ship of Fools, discusses Barclay's animosity towards Skelton op. cit., vol. I, pp. lxxviii, lxxx-lxxxii. – the last line cited above is a dig at Skelton's Philip the Sparrow – and mentions Barclay's lost work Contra Skeltonum. He suggests Barclay may have been irked by Skelton's satirical comments on priests.

In his time he was – at least in Britain – considered one of the greatest knights in Europe, but he was also a reckless youth who frequently got himself into trouble, now with the law, now with the king, now with the fishermen of London. See Stubbs. loc. cit. for the fishermen, and see Kathryn Warner's blog post about Giles Argentine Kathryn Warner, who has written an excellent biographical blog post about Giles Argentine, renders the Latin "dicebatur" in the chronicle entry as "was crowned". While this may be right, I do not believe it is exactly what the chronicler meant. Ian …6 KB (884 words) - 18:38, 7 January 2021

It is interesting to glance through the short list of names that represent our district as it was in 1824. In the first place it may be noted that the complete list comprises only sixteen names.

There is in existence in the family of Kynersley, an ancient horn having the proud name of Robin Hood's horn, and which was formerly in the possession of the Ferrers of Chartley, and then of the branch of the same family at Loxley, and so passed to the family of Kynersley by the marriage of the heiress of Ferrers with John de Kynardsley.

Seymour was Lord Protector of England during the minority of his nephew, Edward VI (1547–49). IRHB comments "The people buy those foolish ballads of Jack-a-Lent. So bought they in times past pardons, and carols, and Robin Hood's tales". At this time there was certainly nothing new about the claim that tales of Robin Hood were the literature or entertainment of the foolish and ignorant. Nonetheless this allusion is significant for at least two reasons. The tales of Robin Hood were "bought", i.e. they were cheap, mass-produced literature rather than what a much later romantic age would term "folk" songs or "folk" literature.

Apparently the barn stood somewhere else but was moved or taken down and rebuilt here at some point in the first third of the 20th century. It presumably owes its name, at least in part, to the circumstance that the neighbourhood to which it was relocated has several roads named after the outlaw, but of course the name also refers to the proverbial expression "To go round by Robin Hood's barn ". In 1978, when Robin Hood Barn was put on the market, the estate agent described it as a "fine old period barn removed to present site[,] converted to form delightful Tudor style residence", with a "[w]ealth of exposed timbering" and "4/5 principal bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 attic bedrooms, 4 reception rooms, cloakroom, kitchen, etc. Oil-fired central heating.

- 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.

Part III, which includes the above passage, was published in 1822. The passage recurs unchanged in the 1824 edition, where this footnote is appended: Rhodes, Ebenezer 1824a, p. 180 n. Hathersage is somewhat tenacious with respect to this circumstance in its local history, and insists upon the validity of its claim to the burial place of Little John. The traditional authority on which this claim rests is more than doubtful. Mr. J. A. Walker, in is ingenious “Memoir on the Armour and Weapons of the Irish,” annexed to his “Historical Essay on the Dress of the Ancient and Modern Irish,” has given some curious particulars relative to the skill of Little John in archery, and he informs us that he terminated his life on the gallows, and that he was “executed for a robbery on …4 KB (556 words) - 18:38, 7 January 2021

This is the area indicated on the 6" O.S. map detail he includes, but the early 25" O.S. maps have 'Robin Hood' about 100 metres north of this location, near the site of the future Robin Hood Hotel. Dargue notes that the name dates from c. 1800 but 'has no connection with the English hero of Sherwood Forest but is probably a misreading of "Robin Wood"'.

Lockie in his Topography of London (editions of 1810 and 1813) lists it as "Robinhood-Yard, Leather-Lane, Holborn,—8 doors on the R. from 128, Holborn-hill". Lockie, John 1810a, s.n.

Whether or not Bishop's Waltham was in fact as dreadful and utterly insignificant as Hookham and his anonymous paraphrast thought, one would perhaps not expect Thomas Bourn to have found a place for it in his Gazetteer of the Most Remarkable Places in the World (1807 and later). Yet he did, and he says little on Waltham's picturesque ruins, much on its picaresque past. Bourn, Thomas 1822a, s.n.

- Brandsby. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2015-07-27. Revised by … Record IRHB comments St Lawrence's Day is August 10. Wikipedia: Lawrence of Rome. George Pearson, who played the sheriff, was a c. 40 year old labourer. He was a recusant (officially recognized as such by 1611) and a servant of Richard Cholmeley, esq., of Brandsby, who was also a known recusant. George Sherwin, who played the part of Robin Hood, was around 35 at the time; his wife was a Catholic, and he would later be employed by the Colmeleys. Given these associations he likely had Catholic leanings. Keenan, art. cit., pp. 476-77. As Keenan argues, it is possible that the motivation for reporting Pearson and Sherwin, an acknowledged and a possibly suspected recusant, to the church authorities was not only their being sabbath breakers and possibly performing the play on church grounds; it may have been motivated also by concerns about their motives for performing it, and perhaps the "contents" of their …5 KB (762 words) - 13:27, 7 January 2021

Revised by … According to local historians writing in the late 18th to mid-19th century, a now vanished mound situated southwest of Wigginton and northwest of Tamworth was known as 'Robin Hood's Butt'. This was also an alternative name for the mound now generally known as 'Elford Low', situated on the east side of Tamworth Road (A513), c. 800 m south-southeast of the village of Elford. It was said, during the first half of the 19th century, that Robin Hood used to shoot arrows from one to the other. They were known collectively, therefore, as 'Robin Hood's Shooting Butts'. Robin Hood's Butts in Elford and Wigginton were first noted by Stebbing Shaw in his History and Antiquities of Staffordshire (1798). Shaw, Stebbing 1798a, vol. I, p. 432.

It is said to have been quoited thither by Robin Hood, from his bed on the top of Blackstone Edge, about six miles off. After striking the mote or mark aimed at, the stone bounced off a few hundred yards, and settled there. These stones, however, in all probability, if not Druidical, were landmarks, the ancient boundary of the hamlet of Healey; and, as was once customary, the marvellous story of this ancient outlaw might be told to the urchins, who accompanied the …4 KB (545 words) - 18:39, 7 January 2021

The artifact was described as follows in 1998: [...] an attractive squatting full-size figure from Mottram Moor which may depict a native hunting deity. This figure is a half-life sized sculpture carved in one piece upon a low square plinth. Found near a spring, the figure once carried a bow which has since been lost, as at some stage the carving has been damaged [p. 229:] resulting in the loss of the left hand. [...] the circumstances of its original discovery remain unclear but in local tradition the figure was known as " Robin Hood " and a public house near the find-spot took its name from the local traditions surrounding the figure.

- Barnsley By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-07-15. Revised by … Barnsley can claim a tenuous connection with Robin Hood in that a fair young damsel who is abducted in the ballad of 'Robin Hood and the Tanner's Daughter', the C version of Erlinton (Child 8), is the offspring of "John Hobbes of Barneslee". This slight claim is in fact even less impressive than it seems at first sight, for the Robin Hood-themed version of Erlinton was written, in 1847 or slightly earlier, by the literary forger John Payne Collier. See IRHB's page on Erlinton, and while "Barneslee" can of course be taken to refer to the town of Barnsley, one cannot rule out the possibility that Collier intended it to sound like a garbled echo of "Barnsdale ".

The earliest reference so far known to IRHB is the 1841 tithe map for Wrightington. 1841 tithe map for the 'Township of Wrightington in the parish of Eccleston', online at the Genealogist, Piece 18, sub-piece 350, Sub-Image 001 (£). The hamlet is also named on a 6" O.S. map published in 1849, based on a survey carried out 1845-46 (see Maps below). The tithe map includes the legend 'Robin Hood' at the corner of High Moor and Robin Hood lanes. The house on that corner, which can be seen in several of the photos included in the image gallery below, was the only one on the northwest side of Robin Hood Lane, and at that time the extension along High Moor Lane had not been added.

One would have liked to know how far back this festival tradition went. Barton's "from time immemorial" should not be accepted without any supporting evidence, and it is unfortunate that he does not cite any sources for his account. It is clear from his preface to the book that it was based on information gleaned from local sources, written as well as oral. He acknowledges having made "a few extracts" from "a series of chapters upon the early history of Bury" recently published in Bury Times. Ibid., p. vii.

- Chinley Churn By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-02-21. Revised by … According to an early 19th century tradition, Robin Hood shot an arrow from the Dipping Stone at Whaley Moor to Chinley Churn. William Marriott's account in his Antiquities of Lyme and its Vicinity, published in 1810 (see Allusions), is the only known source for this tradition. Unfortunately he was more interested in developing elaborate hypotheses about the origins of various stone monuments in Lyme Handley and its vicinity than in giving a detailed account of the popular traditions on which his speculation was largely based. On Chinley he says among other things: Tradition states, that other stones [than the Bowstones at Whaley Moor] exist upon Chinley, a high hill opposite Whalley Moor, on the other side of the river Goyt, forming the boundary of Derbyshire, in Taylor's Pieces.

- Irvinghoe. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-12-12. Revised by … 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. The place-name 'Ivinghoe' is first recorded in Domesday Book (1086), in the form "Evinghehou", Mawer, Allen 1925b, p. 96. from OE Ifinga-hō(g)e, "the hoh ['projecting ridge of land, a promontory' OED, s.n. hoe, n. 1 (£). ] of Ifa's people".

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-01-07. Revised by … Huntingdon, formerly the county town of Huntingdonshire, now relegated to the status of a market town in Cambridgeshire, does not in itself have any clear connection with the outlaw, but from c. 1598 on Robin Hood has been frequently portrayed as earl of Huntingdon. He was endowed with this title by minor Elizabethan dramatists. More recently the idea has been especially popular with film makers. A tragedy with a lowborn criminal as its hero would not have sat well with Elizabethan theatre audiences, at least not with those segments who could afford the more expensive admission fees, so when it was decided that a proper Robin Hood tragedy must be written and staged, it was probably inevitable that the yeoman hero must have some title foisted on him. This was not entirely without precedent, for Richard Grafton in 1568 claimed to have read "in an olde an auncient Pamphlet" that Robin Hood "discended of a noble parentage: or …5 KB (741 words) - 00:29, 6 January 2021

- Robin Hood's Well, Extwistle By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-02-10. Revised by … Robin Hood's Well in Extwistle, c. 400 meters west of Black Clough Head, is or was named after Robin Hood's House or vice versa. The well is located eight or ten meters north-east of the House. Robin Hood's Well in Extwistle is thus labelled on a 6" O.S. map published 1848 and based on a survey carried out in 1844 (see Maps below). Later 6" O.S. maps include Robin Hood's House, but not the well. The House is at the eastern edge of one 25" O.S. map sheet, the Well at the western edge of a neighbouring one. No edition of the latter is online as of 10 Feb. 2019. John A. Clayton wrote the following excellent account of the site c. 2005: The hamlet of Haggate is on the cross-roads from Nelson to Worsthorn and Burnley to Halifax.

IRHB comments It is perhaps just worth noting that the 1474/75 entry is ambiguous. A reader who was unaware that parish fundraising in late medieval and early modern times was not infrequently carried out in the name of Robin Hood would almost certainly read "hodg" as "Hodge" rather than "Hood", and if the entry had occurred on the expense side, it might conceivably have been taken to refer to a scot-ale organized by or for someone named Robin Hodge, and the use of the pet form 'Robin' would then be taken as indicating familiarity. Scot-ales, perhaps originally a means for manorial reeves and indirectly their lordly employers to wring money out of unwilling tenants, over time came to be used for raising money for various collective or private purposes, including as a means of augmenting, or in …11 KB (1,728 words) - 13:27, 7 January 2021

Similar pages exist for the East, and North Ridings as well as for the entire shire. A systematic search for relevant field names in all tithe awards for West Riding townships Online at The Genealogist (£). was completed on 20 June 2020. Everything found in the course of this search has a page of its own in this section of IRHB. Since all relevant field names (as well as place-names) found in Smith's … Hugh 1961a are also included, it is perhaps not too optimistic to think that IRHBs' coverage of Robin Hood-related field names in the West Riding is close to exhaustive.

Will came to me, as I have said, and telling me how much better business he was fallen into, would have me go along with him, and I should be a gentleman. Will, it seems, understood that word in a quite different manner from me; for his gentleman was nothing more or less than a gentleman thief, a villain of a higher degree than a pickpocket, and one that might do something more wicked, and better entitling him to the gallows, than could be done in our way.

On the next side street of Bristol Road, coming from the south, there was until 2008 a pub named the Robin Hood. By and large a pub is much more likely to bequeath its name to the street on which it is situated than the other way around, but it is hardly possible, without knowing the date when each arose, to say which was, as it were, the donor in this case where the name is shared with a neighbouring street.

The name is also found on a second tithe award schedule that was drawn up in 1926. In 1844 the field was owned by the Governors of the Hospital of St Thomas, its occupier being a John Tagg. It was characterized as a grass area, measuring 2 acres and 9 perches ( m 2 ). Cameron, Kenneth 1959a, pt. II, p. 315.

- Site of Robin Hood Yard. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-06-22. Revised by … Robin Hood Yard in Charles II Street was presumably named after the Robin Hood pub, close or adjacent to which it was located. The earliest record of this place-name known to IRHB is John Rocque's Plan of London and Westminster, published in 1746 (see detail shown on this page). At some point during the 18th century almost all of Robin Hood Yard was incorporated into the neighbouring 31 Charles II Street and ceased being a publicly accessible place. There is no direct evidence that the name of the yard was inspired by that of the pub, and in fact the pub is first noted in 1762, sixteen years later than the yard. Yet most likely the pub came before the yard. In this period as now, 'Robin Hood' or 'Robin Hood and Little John' was a common pub name, but relatively few thoroughfares of any kind were named after the outlaw. Several of the latter were adjacent to pubs named after Robin Hood. Examples in …9 KB (1,358 words) - 13:54, 7 January 2021

- Sherwood Close, Tottington. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-28. Revised by … Sherwood Close, a residential cul-de-sac in Tottington, is a side street of Kirklees Street. Just west of it, separated from it only by a parking lot, is the Robin Hood, whose bowling green once occupied the area that is now the parking lot, and in the immediate vicinity was formerly a Robin Hood Brewery. It is hard to imagine that whoever came up with the name 'Sherwood Close' was unaware of these Robin Hood-themed names. IRHB knows the street name only from Google Earth and can therefore offer no suggestion as to the age of the street and its name, but the look of the houses on Sherwood Close seems consistent with a 20th century date.

- The former Robin Hood, Cheetham Hill, Manchester. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-03-01. Revised by … Allusion James Rawson—The Archer. More than a century ago the village of Cheetham Hill was noted for the skill of certain of its natives in archery. The pastime was very popular with the residents, and long years after it had disappeared from all other parts of the Manchester district it was cultivated there. Pilkington's bow and arrow shop and Hyde's smithy at Sandy Lane, where an arrow could be tipped for a penny, were popular institutions, whilst the sign of the Robin Hood served to remind wayfarers and villagers alike of the prowess of Nottingham's famous outlaw. The greatest of local bowmen was James Rawson, concerning whom few particulars have survived. Perhaps the best account of him was the one written by R. Wood in the Manchester Guardian in 1874. He says: "I fear I have little information to give concerning James Rawson, except what I have gathered …6 KB (874 words) - 04:48, 17 January 2021

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.

The House is located eight or ten meters south-west of the (site of the) well. Robin Hood's House is thus labelled on a 6" O.S. map published 1848 and based on a survey carried out in 1844 (see Maps below). It is included in O.S. maps published as late as 1912 and perhaps also in more recent ones. Dobson & Taylor list it as "a ruined farm on the edge of Widdop Moor".

As per October 2020, a Google search shows that real estate information websites still refer to this property as 'Robin Hood', so the name of the pub lives on to some extent. As the house now at the site is clearly of fairly recent date, it is possible that its immediate predecessor was the Robin Hood. The earliest sources for this pub name known to IRHB are a 25" O.S. map of the area published 1901, based on a survey carried out in 1900, and an allusion in a book on fox hunting published the same year as the map.

- The site of Robin Hood and Little John. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-18. Revised by … Additional information from David Rodgers 'Robin Hood and Little John' was the name of a tavern located on the corner of Duke Street (no longer existing) and Charles Street (now King Charles Street) in Westminster from 1780 or earlier to the late 19th or very early 20th century. It was one of a good handful of pubs and taverns in this vicinity that had to make way for the government offices, whose east wing was completed in 1908, while the western half followed in 1917.

- Robin Hood, Undercliffe By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-04-23. Revised by … A pub named the Robin Hood is recorded during the years 1852–1935 on the western corner of the intersection of Harrogate Road and Dudley Hill Road, in Undercliffe, Bradford. The pub is included on a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1852 but is not found on subsequent revisions. On 25" maps published in 1893 and 1908 it is indicated simply as 'Inn', while 25" maps from 1921 and 1935 it is indicated as 'P.H.' IRHB has no data to suggest when the pub closed. Some 70 metres to the northeast on the southeast side of Harrogate Road is Sherwood Place, on which is found Sherwood Green Nursery, but since no other street in the vicinity has a Robin Hood-themed name, it is quite uncertain if the name element 'Sherwood' was suggested by the presence of the Robin Hood Inn.

- 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.

Revised by … A widely visible New Forest landmark and arguably the most prominent archaeological feature on Ibsley Common, Robin Hood's Butt or Clump on a ridge overlooking Chibden and Brogenslade Bottoms is a distinctive clump of 18 pine trees crowning a supposed Bronze Age disc barrow. The name 'Robin Hood's Butt' first appears on a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1872. Robin Hood's Butt is a scheduled monument. The fairly small Scots pines currently making up the clump are said to have been planted in 1931 to replace previous trees destroyed by fire. The trees grow within a circular embankment whose interior is raised c. 40 cm above an outside ditch probably dug to provide materials for the earthwork. The diameter of the circular embankment is just over 10 metres and that of the ditch 15 metres. Although the earthwork is similar in form to others that are simply planting rings, according to English Heritage, Robin Hood's Butt …8 KB (1,145 words) - 16:43, 8 May 2022

- Sherwood House probably owes its name to the proximity to a hill named Robin Hood Butts. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-09-05. Revised by … Sherwood House, situated c. 3.3 km E of Bentham and c. 4.2 km W of Clapham, Craven, was in existence and so named by the mid-19th century. The name may well have been suggested by the presence of a hill or mound named Robin Hood Butts in the vicinity. Perhaps now more commonly known under the name Butt Hill, Robin Hood Butts are located less than 500 m northeast of Sherwood House. In view of this it seems likely that the latter name is at least indirectly connected with Robin Hood. Sherwood House is first recorded on a 6" O.S. map of the area published 1851, based on a survey made in 1846-47 (see Maps below). It is included (and named) in all the later maps listed below.

The earliest authority for the rhyme:— "Tring, Wing and Ivingo The (these) Hampden did forgo For striking of a blow And glad he could 'scape so," is in the return made by John Yale, rector of Great Hampden to Willis's circular of interrogations, 1712. Yale says: "There is an antient Tradition of King Edward 3rd and his son Edward, the black prince's being entertained at Hampden. But the Prince and Hampden exercising themselves in feats of Chivalry, they differed and grew so hot that Hampden struck the Prince on the face, which made the King and prince go away in great wrath upon which came this rhyme." The story is fiction made to fit an old rhyme, the lines are probably from a royalist ballad and indicate that Hampden must be dislodged, and Tring, Wing and Ivinghoe held by the royalists.

The pub seems to have been one of the two northernmost of a row of six semi-detached houses near 'Princerock' at what is now the grounds of a metal scrap yard (see photo below). The houses are named 'Prince Rock Row' on a 25" O.S. map published c. 1854-63 (see Maps below). Gazetteers ⁃ Not included in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 293-311.

- The site of the Robin Hood, 8 Nelson Street, Buckingham By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-02. Revised by … The Robin Hood on 8 Nelson Street in Buckingham was in existence by 1891 and at least as late as 1911. The excellent Pub History site lists six items of publican and resident information for the years 1891-1911. It notes that the pub was listed at 8 Nelson Street in 1891, while in other years its address was listed as 7, 8 and 9 Nelson Street. Pub History: Robin Hood, 7, 8 & 9 Nelson street, Buckingham, Buckinghamshire. Following usual practice for built-up areas, the 25" O.S. map of Buckingham published in 1900 (revision 1898-99) labels the pub, on the west side of Nelson Street and opposite St. Rumbold's Lane, simply 'P.H.' This is useful, for it tells us that the house number has not changed. No. 8 Nelson Street is still found there, though there is no trace of a pub and it is uncertain if the present buildings at what would then have been numbers 8-9-10 date back to …4 KB (563 words) - 15:28, 5 May 2022

- Sherwood in Tunbridge Wells. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-11-10. Revised by … 'Sherwood' is first recorded in 1897 as the name of a wooded area near Badgers Holt and contiguous with Greggs Wood, in the north-eastern part of Tunbridge Wells. Subsequently the name came to refer to a neighbourhood, including Greggs Wood and the residential area to the west of it. The earliest source known to IRHB is a 25" O.S. map of the area published in 1897 (see Maps below). On maps dating from 1909 to c. 1950, the variant 'Sherwood Park' is found. On all the early O.S. maps listed below, the name is used with the original, more restrictive reference. While there is no indication that 'Sherwood', as applied to the wooded area or the neighbourhood, refers to Sherwood Forest in Nottinghamshire qua habitat of Robin Hood, it probably inspired the name of the Robin Hood pub on the corner of Birken and Sandhurst Roads as well as that of Friars Way. It is also quite productive as a place-name …5 KB (627 words) - 01:16, 13 February 2021

The names of several other localities within or quite close to the Inclosure also include the element "Marian". Pending the discovery of any evidence to the contrary, it seems likely these place-names referred to Maid Marian, possibly inspired by the existence in the area of an inn named after Robin Hood in the first half of the 19th century. A Robin Hood Iron Mine, located a mere 150 meters NW of Marian's Brick Works, is said to have been established in 1871, while …11 KB (1,599 words) - 10:54, 25 April 2022

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-09-25. Revised by … "Marian's Inclosure" is the name of the part of the Forest of Dean immediately east of Staunton and northwest of Coleford, Gloucestershire. In this area of the forest is the site of Marian's Brick Works, which is situated just 150 meters from that of Robin Hood Iron Mine with which it was probably closely connected. It seems likely that the Inclosure was named after the Brick Works, whose name was in turn probably inspired by that of the iron mine. A further three localities or thoroughfares within or adjacent to the Inclosure are named after it. Maid Marian is thus likely directly or indirectly commemorated in no less than five place-names in this area. For the Robin Hood connection, see further the page on Marian's Brick Works (Forest of Dean). Currently the earliest source for the place-name "Marian's Inclosure" known to IRHB is a 6" O.S. map of the area published in 1884 (see maps below).

- Brackenbank Wood, formerly Robin Hood Wood, Cotehill By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-02-05. Revised by … Much of the present Brackenbank Wood, along the west bank of River Eden in Cotehill, was known as 'Robin Hood Wood' in the mid-19th century. 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". A close immediately west of the northern part of this stretch of the wood was then known as 'Robin Hood ', while just south of this was a plot which is listed in the tithe award as Robin Hood Well. 1840 tithe award for the township of Cumwhinton and Coathill in the Parish of Wetheral, online at the Genealogist, Piece 07, sub-Piece 056, Image 396, #222 (£); accompanying map, …5 KB (655 words) - 19:19, 22 April 2022

- Robin Hood and Little John, Hampsfield By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-02-15. Revised by … Two large stones of mountain limestone on Hampsfield Allotment, immediately east of Heaning Wood, c. 1.3 km SE of Field Broughton, used to be known as 'Robin Hood and Little John'. Though their collective name seems to have gone out of use, the two large stones still exist. The earliest record of Robin Hood and Little John known to IRHB is a 6" O.S. map published in 1851, based on a survey carried out in 1848. The name is included in 6" and 25" O.S. maps published as late as c. 1947 and possibly later. James Stockdale noted in 1872 (see Allusions below) that they had "from time immemorial gone by the names of Robin Hood and Little John", but "[n]o reasons for these names are known". He suggested that they might have served as boundary marks for shepherds when the area was unenclosed. A recent arcaheological survey lists the stones as "possibly boundary markers of Medieval date", noting …5 KB (617 words) - 13:53, 7 January 2021

- Robin Hood Hill. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-10-09. Revised by … Gover, Mawer and Stenton in the English Place-Name Society's volume on Nottinghamshire do not provide any reference or first date for this place-name; instead they refer to the place-name Robin Hood Pit, which is first mentioned in an O.S. map published c. 1825. Gover, John Eric Bruce 1940a, pp. 173, 294. Robin Hood Hill is a tumulus, and the noun 'pit' may mean 'grave', but it seems unlikely that pit' should have been used for 'mound' since they are opposites in their primary significations. Perhaps the c. 1825 O.S. map was also their source for Robin Hood Hill, but until IRHB gets access to this, the earliest verified source is the 1843 tithe award for the parish of Oxton, which was not consulted by Gover, Mawer and Stenton. It lists 'Robin Hood Hill' under 'Rectorial Glebe' with Ann Sherbrooke as 'Lessee Secunda Pars', Samuel Simpson as occupier, 'Arable' as 'State of Cultivation' and an area of 1 acre, 2 …4 KB (603 words) - 18:43, 22 April 2022

- Approximate indication of the site of the Robin Hood Arms. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-11-24. Revised by … The Robin Hood Arms, formerly the Lord Belper Inn, was situated at or near the present 49 Beacon Hill Rise. The pub is first recorded in 1941. At that time, Beacon Hill Rise was named Robin Hood Street. By 1881 and until some time in the early 20th century, the still existing Lamartine Street was divided into a western part, named 'Lamartine Street' tout court, and an eastern one named 'East Lamartine Street'. By 1915 the two had been connected as 'Lamartine Street'. This street continued east a few tens of metres past Beacon Hill Rise (then Robin Hood Street) as had 'East Lamartine Street'.

Revised by … Photos, field research and additional information courtesy Baildon surveyor Nicholas Smith, his wife, and his mother, Kate Smith. 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.
