More about this scene
Described as 'Robin Hood's village', Edwinstowe lies south of the Sherwood Forest Country Park. An Anglo-Saxon settlement grew up around the chapel on the site of the grave of Edwin, King of Northumberland. He had been killed at the Battle of Heathfield in AD633. The present rather good church with its largely 19th-century spire is mostly 12th- and 13th- century; reputedly, Robin Hood and Maid Marian were married in this church's predecessor by, of course, Friar Tuck.
