Robinhood Copse, formerly known as Robin Hood's Coppice, is a small wooded area in Arborfield, c. 110 m west of Eversley Road (A327) and immediately southwest of a residential street named Poperinghe Way. The name is first recorded in 1839.
The locality is included, as "Robin Hood's Coppice", on the tithe map for Arborfield (1839).[1] while in the tithe award (1841) it is listed as "Robin Wood Coppice", with Henry Simonds, Esq., as owner/occupier, state of cultivation as "Underwood", and with an area of 2 acres, 3 roods and 14 perches (Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2).[2] The area is labelled "Robinhood Copse" on O.S. maps published 1876 to c. 1944 (see maps below). An adjacent area was formerly known as Robin Wood Ground.Template:PnItemQry
