The southern half of the land now forming Settle and Giggleswick Golf Course was formerly known as 'Robin Hood'. It is listed under that name as a pasture with an area of 4 acres, 2 roods and 25 perches (Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2) in a Giggleswick tithe award drawn up 1843-45. Its owner was then the Reverend Edward Francis Witts, its occupier Thomas Maudsley.[1] Unless it is found on O.S. 6" map Yorkshire Sheet 114 (1851, surveyed 1846), which is not available online, I do not believe this field name is included on O.S. maps of the area.[2]
