Two plots of land, one on the west, the other one the east side of Robinhood Lane in Winnersh were known locally as the Robin Hoods in the mid-19th century.

The westernmost of these was a triangular area that is now roughly bounded by Robinhood Lane to the east, Arbour Lane to the north, and Church Close to the south. The tithe award for Hurst (1841) lists it as "Robin Hoods", the owner Thomas Garth, Esq., the occupier Aaron Lennon, state of cultivation "Arable", area 4 acres, 1 rood and 24 perches (Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2).[1] Since both areas are listed as "Robin Hoods" in the tithe award, we must assume that this was their collective name.

For discussion of the origin of these place-names, see the pages on Robin Hoods (Winnersh) (2) and Robinhood Lane (Winnersh).Template:PnItemQry
