Another place near here, Fosdyke, is mentioned in yet another Robin Hood film... the one with Richard Greene I think.
(This character is referred to as "Matt of Slefern" elsewhere, but I always hear "Sleaford" with an American drawl in the movie, so it's easy to imagine how that's come about. However, a lot of the legends are tied in with this area of Lincolnshire, so I'm sticking with Matt of Sleaford.)
