Nottingham Heritage Hunters! Deep in Nottingham’s past, in the time of good King Richard and bad King John, lived Robin and his merry band of companions. All across the city of Nottingham they took from the rich to give to those in need, foiling the wicked Sheriff at every turn. Through painstaking “historic research” the Nottingham Castle team have created 7 fact-files for you to use and discover the amazing (and totally real) things Robin and his companions got up to in our city all those years ago. You can find them here.
