Historic Interest

Half of the building was originally cottages whilst the back half overlooking the woodland was named the Rock Inn. The pub was later renamed in view of the legends associating Robin Hood with this area. In the C12th. Loxley Chase was an extensive forest which stretched as far Sherwood Forest. Loxley is one of the locations claimed as the birthplace of Robin Hood.
