We paid a
trip to the Lace
Market for last week's Sunday Snap. I asked which East Midlands
city it is in and the answer is
Nottingham
For this
week we are staying in Nottingham with an outlaw associated with
Nottingham and the surrounding area. The bronze statue dates from
1951 and was made by sculptor James Woodford and depicts the highly
skilled archer. It stands by the wall underneath Nottingham Castle.
This was once home to the Sheriff of Nottingham and the location of
the final showdown between the pair of them. During his many battles
with the Sheriff of Nottingham he escaped from and broke into the
castle many times. The legend of this outlaw has continued in
popularity throughout the centuries. Tales of his acts with his merry
band of men and romance with Maid Marian have entertained people
through books, television series and films.
Who is the
Nottinghamshire outlaw?
We were
joined last week by Susan
and an amazing orange sunset. Kara's crew have space
hopper racing and watching owls
in flight. At the arcade Anne
and family were making the most of their money. In France Cheryl
has been to the cliffs at Cap Blanc Nez. Back home again in the US
Sue
has been commemorating Memorial Day.

I'm about 99% sure this is Robin Hood. I've seen this statue as we went to Nottingham 3 years in a row for our holidays x
ReplyDeleteIt's Robin Hood! We have a very similar photo but with three kids posing with the statue. We really have to go back to Nottingham Castle, the kids had so much fun.

Robin Hood - was actually going to write the song but Cheryl beat me to it :)
ReplyDeleteI will agree w/ Robin Hood since everyone else said it, but I probably would not have thought of it on my own. :) Thank you for the link party.
