NE of Robin Hood's Grave. According to the Gest (see Evidence below) and later sources, it was at Kirklees that Robin Hood was killed through the treachery of his cousin the prioress. Kirklees is in the township of Hartshead-cum-Clifton and in the ancient parish of Dewsbury. It occurs in the records from 1202 on as "Kirkeley", "Kyrkeleis", "Kyrkesley" and through metathesis as "Crickeleys". The strange form "Kuthelaga" has also been recorded. The etymology of the name, a compound of ON kirkja and OE lēah, is "church clearing(s)", …

  • Robin Hood Malt Kiln. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-10-21. Revised by … Robin Hood Malt Kiln is indicated on an 1854 O.S. map of the Huddersfield area that was based on surveying done in the years 1848 to 1850. The name seems to have referred to a rectangular building squeezed in between the Calder, immediately to the west, and Wakefield Road immeditely to the east, and thus located immediately west of Nun Bank Wood (formerly Kirklees Wood) and about 50 m. north of the railroad bridge over the Calder. The 1894 O.S. map of the area has the legend "Robin Hood Malt Kiln" positioned in Nun Bank Wood, immediately east of Wakefield Road, thus making it unclear if the name was meant to apply to the building close to the Calder. The kiln is mentioned as an existing structure in a 1903 lease. See MS sources section below. The name Robin Hood Malt Kiln is not indicated on any of the later 6" O.S. maps of the area online at NLS, See Maps section. though the buidling is shown at least as …

  • Little John Mill By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-10-17. Revised by … Little John Mill began life as a water driven facility for fulling, scribbling and carding wool. It was built by a John Clegg in 1785 on a part of Clifton Common known as Ganger Ing. Later it was used by a succession of tenants for a variety of purposes, including silk processing and wire drawing. During Clegg's tenancy, which seems to have ended c. 1808, it was usually known as Clegg's Mill. See Malcolm Bull's Calderdale Companion: Mills & Mines L and MS sources section below. It is not clear when it acquired the name Little John Mill, but this had certainly happened by 1870. See MS sources section below. A Robin Hood Mill in the vicinity was also built on land owned by the Armytage family of Kirklees Hall. Since they owned the land on which Robin Hood's alleged grave is found, it is a reasonable guess that they suggested these names for the mills. Today Little John Mill is an industrial estate with …
