The prosperity of St. Mary's Priory - founded in 1172 and now known as Newstead Abbey - was based on wool.

The place never enjoyed any wealth as the outlaws here knew exactly when and who to hit to get the money travelling in and out of the Priory.

A new 'Nottingham castle' was planned in 1194 nearby to deal with the robbers in the Leen Valley but not built until 1205 when, instead of stopping the outlaws, it was attacked by them and eventually abandoned.

If Robin Hood ever did meet Richard the Lionheart, it would have been somewhere around here.

Richard I in late March-April 1194 and King John on several occasions between 1199 and 1215 stayed here when out hunting in Sherwood Forest.
