Robin Hood's Meadow in Perlethorpe is situated on the west bank of the Maun, opposite Robin Hood's Cave. It is first recorded in 1841.
The first known record of this field name is the 1841 tithe award of Perlethorpe and Edwinstowe, where it is listed as two contiguous plots, both belonging to 'The Earl Manvers', i.e. Charles Pierrepont, Viscount Newark (1805–50),Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
Robin Hood's Cave across the small river being presumably (once or still?) a more conspicuous feature, it was in all probability the name of the latter which suggested that of the former rather than vice versa. Template:PnItemQry
