- Wakefield. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Wakefield is now the centre of the large metropolitan district known as the City of Wakefield, but in the late Middle Ages it was a small town or large village. It is first mentioned in Domesday Book (1086) where it occurs as Wachefeld. Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. II, pp. 163-64. The most likely etymology is "Waca's field", where "field" means "stretch of open country". Smith Smith, op. cit. at first suggests this etymology, but then decides that "wake" probably was from OE "wacu", meaning a "watch" or "wake", and that therefore the name referred to an annual feast or festival held at Wakefield. However, there is no evidence whatsoever for such a festival in the pre-Conquest period. As the first suggestion assumes less, I think it should be adopted. The Pinder of Wakefield Perhaps Wakefield's most famous citizen during the early modern period was the legendary Pinder, George à Greene, the hero of the ballad of …4 KB (530 words) - 00:43, 6 January 2021
- Short introduction We hope that this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand name. 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 corner of Milk Street and Robinhood Alley was very close to the point indicated on the map. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-01-18. Revised by … Listed in Harben's Dictionary of London under 'Robinhood Court' and by Dobson & Taylor as 'Robin Hood Court', the little street whose earliest known name was 'Robinhood Alley' ran "[e]ast out of Milk Street at No. 1, with a passage to Honey Lane Market. In Cheap Ward and Cripplegate Ward Within". Harben, Henry Andrade 1918a, p. 505, s.nn. Robin Hood Alley, Robinhood Court [2], Robinson's Court; Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, p. 299, s.n.

Robin Hood Pond is listed as a field in the English Place-Name Society's volume on Durham, Watts, Victor 2007a, p. 92. which cites as its source an 1842 tithe award for Thorpe Thewles, Genealogist: Piece 11, sub-piece 258, Image 015 (£); Genealogist: Piece 11, sub-piece 258, Sub-Image 001, type b&w TNA (map; subscription required). in which it is categorized as pasture with an area of 9 acres, 1 rood and 20 perches ( m 2 ), the owner a William Russell, Esq., the occupiers William and Thomas Wheatley. As one would expect, the name refers properly to a pond within this piece of land.

- Wentbridge. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-06-04. Revised by … Several photos courtesy Richard Hawlor. Referred to in the Gest of Robyn Hode and Robin Hood and the Potter, Wentbridge is the name both of a bridge – first mentioned in 1190 as "pontem de Wente" Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. II, pp. 51. – over the river Went and the village that grew up around it at the northern boundary of Barnsdale. The village lies athwart the original Great North Road and hence would have been well known to travellers along this main road from London to the north and Scotland. Before the modern road was constructed, the deep incline at Wentbridge, 1 in 16, made this a dangerous place for travellers on horseback or in a horse driven carriage. Passengers would generally have had to leave the carriage during descent, as braking was dangerous, and during ascent in order to lighten the burden for the horses. Hence this was a very well chosen locale for a tale about a …13 KB (2,013 words) - 21:38, 22 November 2021
- Site of. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2018-01-17. Revised by … A now lost Robin Hood Court led west out of Shoe Lane to Great New Street in Holborn (Farringdon Ward Without). Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, p. 300, s.n. Robin Hood Court [1], have "Farringdon Ward Within", but British History Online: A Dictionary of London: Robin Hood Court – Rolls' Yard has "Without". It is first recorded in 1623. On 26 Oct. 1623 at the French ambassador's house in Blackfriars, London, the floor of an upper room collapsed under the weight of three hundred people attending a religious service. Nearly a hundred of them were killed in this disaster known as the Fatal Vespers. A pamphlet about this tragic event published shortly after includes a list of casualties, among whom were a family from Robin Hood Court, Shoe Lane. This is the first mention of the street name.

- The marker indicates the probable centre of Barnsdale, at whose northern boundary lay Wentbridge. Barnsdale's extent in the west-east direction would have been similar to that north-south. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by … Barnsdale was one of Robin Hood's two chief haunts in the medieval and early modern outlaw tradition. Never precisely delimited, it was an area straddling the Great North Road about halfway between Doncaster and Pontefract in the West Riding of Yorkshire. Following Dobson & Taylor (1972), Dobson, Richard Barrie 1972a, see pp. 11-20. modern historians have tended to relocate it to an area somewhat north of its original location. However, a close reading of the Gest of Robyn Hode (see "Location and extent" below) suggest this may not be necessary. The etymology of "Barnsdale" is "Beorn's valley", Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. II, p. 37. Beorn being an OE personal name, which occurs also in other place-names, for instance Barnsley (c. 18 km …31 KB (4,592 words) - 19:21, 12 February 2023
