- The site of Robin Hood Green. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-01-17. Revised by … Located in Lostock Gralam, Robin Hood Green is first recorded on Andrew Bryant's 1831 Map of Cheshire. Bryant, A, Map of Cheshire (1831) (Cheshire Local History Association: 16th - 19th century maps of Cheshire). According to Dodgson, John McNeal 1970a, vol. I, p. xxv, incorrectly cites Bryant's first name initial as W. Dodgson lists this place-name under 'Lostock Green', probably regarding it as another name for that hamlet, Dodgson, op.cit., vol. II, p. 190, but Bryant's map has it immediately west of Lostock Gralam, whereas Lostock Green is located c. 1 km south of Lostock Gralam. The two Greens can thus hardly be identical, unless Bryant's map has Robin Hood Green in the wrong place. The place-name would seem to be defunct, for as of January 2017 we found no mention of it on the Web. Gazetteers ⁃ Not included in Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 293-311.

Revised by … A potato field on the northwest side of Reed Lane, c. 450 metres northeast of Fogg's Lane, immediately east-southeast of the golf course in Antrobus, was known as 'Little John Croft' in the mid-19th century. The field figures under this name in the 1840 tithe award for the township of Antrobus in the parish of Budworth, with Sir Edmund Antrobus, Bart., as landowner, William Vernon as occupier, 'Potatoes' for 'State of Cultivation' and an area of 2 acres and 27 perches ( m 2 ). 1844 tithe award for the township of Antrobus in the parish of Budworth, online at the Genealogist, Piece 05, sub-piece 016, Image 007, #70 (£); accompanying map, online at the Genealogist, Piece 05, sub-piece 016, Sub-Image 001, #70 (£).

- Site of Robin Wood Ground, Arborfield Approximate contours of Robin Wood Ground. Robin Hood's Coppice (roughly rectangular area) indicated more exactly. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-09-20. Revised by … "Robin Wood Ground" was the mid-19th century local name for an area in Arborfield lying immediately west of Eversley Road (A327), a thoroughfare which did not exist at the time. The name is recorded in the tithe award for Arborfield (1841), where Robin Wood Ground is listed with Henry Simonds, Esq., as owner, Charles Goodechild as occupier, state of cultivation as "Arable", and with an area of 9 acres, 1 rood and 5 perches ( m 2 ). 1841 tithe award for Arborfield parish, online at the Genealogist.co.uk, Piece 02, sub-piece 007, Image 012, Plot No. 284 (£).

- A wooded area in Stannington near Sheffield was known as Plumpton Park in the mid-19th century. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-04-27. Revised by … An area in Stannington, bordering Storrs, near Sheffield, was known as Plumpton Park in the mid-19th century. It is one of a surprisingly large number of plots of land in the North and North Midlands recorded under that name in tithe awards. As Robin Hood experts will know, it was also the name in the Gest of Robyn Hode of an area – probably near the home of the knight Sir Richard at the Lee – where King Edward discovered to his chagrin that Robin Hood had severely depleted the stock of deer. Though that Plumpton Park is most probably to be thought of as the locality in Lancashire, this is not certain, and it seems best, therefore, to record all occurrences of the name. The field name occurs in the 1846 tithe award for Stannington, Storrs and Dungworth with James Stanley as landowner, Jonathan Revitt as occupier, an …5 KB (690 words) - 17:32, 17 May 2022
- Robin Hood Court was perhaps near the point indicated. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-06-24. Revised by … Somewhere between Golden Lane and Goswell Road, then named Goswell Street, was a yard or cul-de-sac named Robin Hood Court in the mid-18th to early 19th century. It is listed in a few topographical handbooks of the period but apparently not included on any maps. Robin Hood Court is included in a list of localities in the Compleat Compting House Companion (1763) Anonymous 1763a, p. 417, s.n. Robin Hood court [1]. and the New Complete Guide (1783). Anonymous 1783a, p. 59 s.n. Robin Hood's court [1]. John Lockie in his Topography of London lists it as "Robinhood-Court, Bell-Alley, Golden-Lane,—the third on the R. from Golden-lane, towards Goswell-street". Bell-Alley led away from Golden Lane at a ninety-degree angle, then turned roughly north to run parallel to Golden Lane, then again turned ninety degrees towards Goswell Road.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-08-22. Revised by … More than fifty editions/printings of chap-books of Robin Hood ballads are known. They often carry the title 'Robin Hood's Garland'. In case of items with other titles, one often cannot tell from the title and other bibliographical data whether it is a chapbook ballad collection or a prose-chapbook. Such doubtful items are listed separately under the heading "Ballads or prose". The first known Robin Hood's Garland dates from 1663, but this probably was not the first printing. The latest garlands, under other titles, would seem to date from the very late 19th or early 20th century, but again this is hard to determine as the titles tend not to reveal whether the contents are verse or prose. I have only inspected a handful of garlands. ⁃ Anonymous 1810a. Is this 24 page item a reduced version of Robin Hood's Garland or a prose chap-book? ⁃ M, S 1777a. ⁃⁃ M, S 1808a.
