Market Bosworth, where a locality was known as Robbin's Well in 1625.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-06-14. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-06-14.

'Robbin's Well' occurs as a field name in Market Bosworth in 1625. Barrie Cox notes that "a surn[ame]. with well may be discounted, so likely it is an allusion to the legend of Robin Hood". His source is an unspecified terrier.[1]

I have searched through the tithe awards of Market Bosworth and the following neighbouring villages without finding any mention of Robbin's Well: Bilstone, Cadeby, Carlton, Dadington, Osbaston, Shenton, Sibson, Twycross, and Upton.[2] To be able to put this entry on the map I have used the coordinates of Market Bosworth.
