Robin Hood occurs as a field name or characterization of no less than four plots of land in the 1845 MS tithe award for Royston,[1] which is now a suburban village within the Metropolitan borough of Barnsley, located c. 14 km SW of Wentbridge. Three of the plots form one continuous area, while the fourth, the present item, is situated slightly north-west of them, the distance between it and the nearest 'Robin Hood' plot being no more than c. 35 m.[2]
