We gradually ascended for half a mile and then found ourselves at the top of a considerable eminence, where the woods ceased, and the eye was instantly caught by “the house” situated on the opposite side of the valley, into which the road with some abruptness wound. It was a large, handsome, stone building, standing well on rising ground, and By the end of June the Monsoons had somewhat overwhelmed by the variety backed by a ridge of high woody hills; arrived, however the intrepid Garden of cakes placed before them. and in front, a stream of some natural Group members were determined not importance was swelled into greater, but to be rained off.

  • Maid Marian Maid Marian Fitzwalter Was Born in 1173 at the Old Bilborough Hall, Which Is Now Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre
    Maid Marian Maid Marian Fitzwalter was born in 1173 at the old Bilborough Hall, which is now Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre. It was Marian’s family who had commissioned the building of St Martins church in Bilborough, near where they lived, to be built – a project which Little John had worked on a site labourer. Marian was a free spirit. Rejecting her family’s status and wealth, she spent more time with the regular folk in Bilborough or in the nearby deer park at Wollaton than with the landed aristocracy. It is during this time she met a young Robin, who was living in the area. They remained friends whilst Robin was away during the Crusades. It is during this time that Marian was promised to be married to Eustachius de Moreton, Lord of Wollaton and Algarthorpe (in modern day Basford). Marian was not happy with the match and broke off the engagement, waiting for Robin to return. Eustachius, unhappy that Marian had broken it off, challenged her to a horse race from Algarthorpe to Woodthorpe, the finish line now where the house in Woodthorpe Park stands. Marian won easily and the chided Eustachius returned to Basford. When Robin returned, the two fell in love and she quickly became an important ally in the fight against the evil Sherriff. She was an able spy and lockpick who would help Robin and his outlaw companions whilst still appearing to be a lady of the court. She could pass through Nottingham and its Castle as she pleased, gleaning useful information. Marian received many the scornful look as she cheered on the disguised Robin during the Golden Arrow competition on what is now the Forest Recreation ground and remained to see Robin and his companions share the spoils of his win with the people of Hyson Green.
