Robin Hood

Robin Hood, William Robehod, and or aka Robert le Fevre, from Enborne in Berkshire. Hood was indicted for various things, 1261–62, took flight, outlawed, and his chattels taken without warrant by the prior of Sandleford. Easter 1262 the prior was excused a fine by the king for having confiscated Hood’s chattel.

Traditional legal practices

Enborne historically adhered to an unusual legal practice. The rights to copyhold land inheritance from a husband were forfeited if his widow remarried or was unchaste. Steward of the manor was obliged to reinstate the rights if she rode into manor court, backwards on a black ram, while reciting a set of bizarre lines.

Enborne geography / climate

Enborne has a site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) just to the east of the village, called Enborne Copse and Avery’s Pightle.

Reddings Copse

Reddings copse in East Enborne was held by the family of the barons de Pinkney and was granted by them to William de Clervaux or Nicholas Aufryke. Sandleford Priory had it until the priory’s property was taken over by the Dean and Canons of Windsor of St George’s Chapel in the fifteenth century. Various records of sale of woods or lease of Readings Coppice survive which indicate tenants between 1585 and 1748.
