EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, taken around 1910 by artist A. Wigglesworth, transports us to the legendary site of Robin Hood's Grave in Kirklees, West Yorkshire. The image showcases the final resting place of the mythical figure amidst the serene surroundings of Calderdale Valley. The historical significance of this location dates back to the 12th century when Kirklees Priory was constructed by Cistercian monks. According to folklore, Robin Hood sought refuge here while evading capture from the Sheriff of Nottingham. It is believed that he found shelter under the watchful eye of his aunt, who served as prioress at the priory. The monochrome composition adds a touch of mystery and timelessness to this scene. The railings surrounding Robin Hood's grave stand as a testament to its sacred nature within Christian tradition. This print is an excerpt from Bibbys Annual 1912 publication by J. Bibby & Sons in Liverpool, offering readers a glimpse into England's rich cultural heritage and literary traditions. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured over a century ago, we are reminded of how legends can shape our understanding of history and geography. It serves as a poignant reminder that even mythical figures like Robin Hood have left their mark on British literature and folklore for generations to come.
