Location of Sheldon in which parish Little John Greave was located.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-10-15. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-18.

Little John Greave is recorded in a 1767 enclosure award as a field-name in Sheldon (Bakewell, Derbyshire). "Greave" is from OE grǣfe: grove, copse, thicket.[1] It is perhaps worth noting that "John a Greaves" occurs as a field-name in 1830 in Barlborough, 31 km ESE of Sheldon,[2] but apart from the (partial) similarity of name there is nothing to suggest a connection between the two localities. With access to the Sheldon enclosure award it should be possible to locate Little John Greave. Pending this, the coordinates I cite here are simnply those for Sheldon, the parish within which the "greave" was located. According to the editor of the English Place-Name Society's volumes on Derbyshire, this is the only Robin Hood-related field-name found in the county.[3] This is not true. His own work also lists 'Little John' as a field-name in Tibshelf (1846).

'Greave' is a quite common element of Derbyshire place- and field-names.[4]
