By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-10-25. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-10-25.

Doveridge in Derbyshire, near the Derbyshire–Staffordshire border, has a slight claim to Robin Hood-related fame in that it was the town which supplied the priest who married Robin Hood and Clorinda, queen of shepherds, in the ballad of Robin Hood's Birth, Breeding, Valor and Marriage.

In st. 37 of that ballad, Robin Hood proposes to the irresistible Clorinda, and immediately upon receiving her favourable reply, in st. 38, suggests that a priest be sent for so they can be married right away. However, Clorinda first wishes to go to 'Titbury feast' (st. 39), a feast day or popular festival at Tutbury, together with her future husband and his entourage, which includes the trusty Little John. En route they are accosted by eight yeoman, who prove no match for Robin and John. Not until st. 49:

 When dinner was ended, Sir Roger, the parson
Of Dubbridge, was sent for in haste;
 He brought his mass-book, and he bade them take hands,
And he joynd them in marriage full fast.[1]
