A new competition for Junior Outlaws will appear here soon.
How well did you do? Here are the answers 1. Robin Hood lived in Sherwood Forest with the rest of the merrie men and women. His best friend was Little John and he married Maid Marian. Robin had to hide in the forest because he was an outlaw. The evil Sheriff of Nottingham wanted to catch him and his men and stop Robin stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Robin was also in trouble because he ate the Kings deer. 2. Robin and Marian were married in St. Mary's church in a place called Edwinstowe which is very close to the heart of Sherwood forest and the Major Oak tree. If you take a trip to Sherwood Forest you can still visit the church to this day. 3. Robin is buried at a place called Kirklees Priory which is near Huddersfield in Yorkshire. In the legend, Robin went to the Priory to visit his cousin who betrayed him and ended his life. Whilst he was dying in the Priory, Robin shot his last arrow and was buried where the arrow fell in the Priory grounds. 4. T is for the Old Trip to Jerusalem perhaps the oldest pub in the world allegedly dating back to the year 1189. It is undoubtedly unique as it extends back into a cave cut into the sandstone at the base of Castle Rock. Who knows whether Robin and his outlaw band may have one day sat in this pub plotting their next move against the evil prince John and his henchmen 5. This is of course the Major Oak which still stands in Sherwood Forest. The Major Oak is said to be over 900 years old. According to the stories, Robin hid inside the trunk of the tree to hide from the Sheriff's men. We'll have some more questions for you soon. |

Junior Outlaw Ruth Perrin would like to send her greetings to Robin Hood fans all over the world. Ruth is one of Robins' biggest fans and has even had a musical written for her called, you guessed it - "Robin Hood the Musical". The musical has been really popular and who knows, you may even have performed it in your school. Every year, Ruth goes to the Robin Hood Festival in Sherwood Forest. Her favourite part of the Festival is the display by the brilliant re-enactment group called "Legend". Below are some photos taken at this years
Festival showing Legend in action.
