Papplewick.

If any witches remain in Papplewick, I am sure they are of the benign and charming variety / Google Earth StreetView.

Ben Jonson's Sad Shepherd (c. 1637?) includes in its list of dramatis personae "Maudlin, the envious, the Witch of Papplewick".^[1] According to the Wikipedia article on this locality, "A local legend dictates that the body of Alan-a-Dale, one of Robin Hood's men, was buried in Papplewick",^[2] while according to Dobson & Taylor, St James Church in Papplewick was "[a]llegedly the church at which Allen a Dale was married with the assistance of Robin Hood", a tradition which they think almost certainly "originates from the appearance of the witch of Papplewick in Ben Jonson's The Sad Shepherd".^[3]
