The village where I live not much. But the next town aside from the obvious “Race” it used to have the devil as a resident with various sights and legends attributed to him.
Apparently he used to have his coach (headless horses or coachman) joy ride up and down the Main Street and cause all sorts of mischief. Before the locals got fed up and banished him. There is a well in the middle of town where there are said to be candles burning at the bottom when they go out he will appear. Slight issue in that it’s now filled with cement. |

Depends on who I'm speaking to. Americans I'd mention slebs like most of Chumbawamba and Sir Ian McKellen. To football fans, it's that little town punching above its weight and mostly losing in the Premier League. Heh, I've just seen a New York Times article about newer teams to enter the Premier League, called it a city!
That's where I was born, not where I live. Guesses? |

I’d love to say how it’s for the Highwayman Dick Turpin or for Charles Dickens writing Barnaby Rudge in the Kings Head (Arnold Swartzenegger lived here too, age 17 whilst competing in his first Mr Universe). Although the inn described in the book is actually The Olde Maypole just down the road and not to be confused with The Maypole which is at the other end of the same road and used in ep 1 of BBC’s King Gary. KG is set/filmed in Chigwell, which is where Birds of a Feather is also set. Both shows mention going to the Gym which in KG, is called “the Dave” - which is the David Lloyd where Mrs SauceyTwo and I met - for realz
But… despite all this being true, given today’s morning news I would say we are most famous for everybody’s favourite tv school GRANGE HILL (not Waterloo Road, which is a real road here too) |

"Robin Hood, the shit castle, Brian Clough, lacemaking, shootings
Robin hood is a yorkshire man"
Yorkshire? The airport ? Yes..
but, there are many legends concerning the birth, life and death of Robin Hood with many places claiming him as their own. Researchers have his origins in places as diverse as Nottingham, Loxley, Yorkshire and Huntingdon (Scotland) to name but a few. In 1746 however one researcher, Dr William Stukeley, thought he had found the real origins of Robin.
Dr Stukeley believed that Robin may have been Robert Fitzodo also known as Robert Fitzooth
The first historical mention of R.obin Hood is in a poem called "Visions of Piers Plowman" by William Langford 1377 in the poem there is a line where Sloth (a priest) admits he doesn't know his Paternoster but knows plenty of ballads about Robin Hood and Randulf (Randolph or Ranulph), Earl of Chester.Later writings give the birthplace of Robin as Locksley (Loxley) and his Title as Robert (Robin) Earl of Huntingdon.
So where does Caludon Castle fit in? The Earls Of Chester were the Blondeville (blunderville) family descendants of Norman invaders who owned land around Britain including a castle at Caludon (now part of Coventry). Between 1181 and 1232 Randolf De Blunderville Earl of Chester (born 1172) was resident at Caludon. Randolf married Matilda Fitzrobert and they had a son Hugh (De Kevillioc) who married Bertrade D'Everaux (De Montfort)
They had a daughter Maud of Chester who married (26th Aug 1190) to David de Huntingdon (born 1144 died 17th June 1219)
David marched against King John in support of King Richard and most stories put Robin Hood in the same era. David had a son Robert Fitzodo (Fitzooth) (de Huntingdon) .
Robert was born in Loxley, Warwickshire where legend says Robin was born. Robert was Earl of Huntingdon as legend also has Robin and the clincher, Robert Fitzooth was declared an outlaw and all his lands confiscated and given to Randolf, Earl of Chester, the two being mentioned side by side in the first reference to Robin which was Langford's poem.
Most stories of Robin include King Richard the Lionheart and King John. Robert Huntingdon, unlike many other candidates for Robin, was alive during this period 1189-1216 and into Henry the III's reign, 1216 onwards. |
