- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-05-22. Revised by … A pub named the 'Robin Hood' on Shinfield Road in Whitley, Reading, is recorded from 1851 to 1877. Information on publicans etc. from this period can be found at Pub Wiki. Pub Wiki: Robin Hood, Shinfield Road, Whitley, Reading, Berkshire.

- Plumpton Park, Stow By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2023-05-18. Revised by … In the Gest, King Edward is exasperated at noticing the scarcity of deer in Plumpton Park after Robin and his men have been poaching there during their stay with the knight. We should almost certainly take this to be in Lancashire, but it could just possibly be some place King Edward is meant to have visited after his progress in Lancashire. As Lincolnshire is a neighbouring county it is conceivable, though not likely, that a Plumpton Park in that county may have been intended. Two plots of land in Stow (c. 12 km NW of Lincoln), were known as Plumpton Park in 1839. The northernmost of these, the topic of this entry, was situated between the remnants of the moat in Stow Park and Stow Park Road, c. 90 m SW of St Mary's Church. The 1839 tithe award for the parish of 'Stowe' lists William Hall, Esquire, as landowner and Robert Burnham as occupier.

The junction is mentioned several times in a 2017 neighbourhood development plan. Forest of Dean District Council 2017a, pp. 79, 81, 93, 94, 95.
