Robinhood Meadow is listed as a field name in the 1844 tithe award for Barking. The meadow was situated on the south side of Ilford High Road, extending east from the present Riches Road to present Green Lane and about as far south as present Chamberlain Close. It covered an area of Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2. Its owner and occupier was a John Scrafton Thompson.[1]

The rough contours of the meadow are drawn in on one of the maps below. The area is entered in two parts in the tithe award, a fact I have attempted to reflect on the map. In addition to this, the long, narrow tongue extending left on the map is not part of the meadow proper but is entered separately from the two parts of the meadow as "Shrubbery (in Robinhood Meadow)", with an area of Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2, "Wood" as state of cultivation, and the same owner/occupier as the meadow.[2]

Two closes c. 500 m NE of Robinhood Meadow were named the Little Johns,Template:PnItemQry
