A Robin Hood Inn in Perthy is included on O.S. maps of the area published in 1875 and 1884.

Both of the maps which include the inn (see links below) are based on a survey carried out in 1874. None of the later maps includes the Robin Hood, and Google does not return anything relevant in response to a search for "Robin Hood" and "Perthy". No doubt the inn was closed by the turn of the 20th century.

A small wood about 300 m east-southeast of the former inn is named 'Sherwood's Rough' on some of the early O.S. maps, but the use of the genitive suggests that this was named after a person surnamed Sherwood, so any conenction with Robin Hood would seem to be quite tenuous.
