When the Wollaton Hall Was Built Wollaton hall was and still is a well-known famous Nottingham building. Wollaton hall was built during the period 1580 - 1588. A designer, Robert Smythson, designed it on the commission of Sir Francis Willoughby. Much of the original building still remains, showing the style of architecture around the time of the Spanish armada. The hall had cost a total of £8,000, which was a considerable sum of money in Elizabethan times. Today the hall is a natural history
had been murdered and that the new leader of Nottingham was the Sheriff. Not only was this a great shock to Robin, but all the people of the land were suffering greatly from the Sheriffs corrupt rule. He was very money hungry and greedy, and the lower class community suffered greatly from his greediness. Robin Hood had many different traits that are quite obvious in the story and the movie. For one he is very set on taking from the wealth of Nottingham and giving back to the poorer community so they

Reading is extremely underrated in our country today. Those who do read know what I’m saying. And I’m not talking about Dr. Seuss or Ann M. Martin. I mean REAL books! Books by Dean Koontz, Stephen King, and other best-selling authors. One best-selling author that I have the utmost respect for is Mary Higgins Clark. She’s written chart-topping novels such as Where Are the Children?, A Cry in the Night, A Stranger is Watching, and The Cradle will fall. The book that I have recently read by her
The Origins and Development of Nottingham Castle The castle now looks as if it is now a place for tourism. Many of the original walls and buildings have been either taken away, destroyed or are hard to find. From where the original foundations were there are now; a playground, shop, museum and mansion house. Also there are gardens which are taking up a lot of the original space. From a distance the castle itself looks like a mansion on a hill will parts of a wall surrounding it. Fro
What Should Robin Hood Do? There are several issues Robin Hood needs to consider. First, Robin Hood needs to make sure his own personal grievances against the Sheriff do not cloud his vision and what is in the best interest of his Merrymen as a group. Second, take a broad look at the overall organizational structure by conducting an environmental scan, a strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis and/or using a variety of organizational assessments (measurements). A SWOT
Kesey’s tale unravels the prospect of a mythic taking power and giving it to the less fortunate. Or rather, taking from the rich and giving to the poor. McMurphy is a parallel to Robin Hood, in the same sense Nurse Ratched reflects the Sheriff of Nottingham. McMurphy is Robin Hood with his ‘saving-the-day’ mentality. During the shower scene, where George was vehemently against taking the soap Mc Murphy was the only one to stand up and do something at the abuse from the workers.
A common theme that runs through the songs of 20-year-old Callum Burrows, better known as Saint Raymond, is that of youth and growing up. This theme is particularly apparent in Burrows’ song “As We Are Now”, which he has explained to be about a time period in his life during which all of his friends were beginning to move away for university or to begin their career and he was still at home, whilst Burrows himself decided after attending college for merely one lesson that he wanted to pursue a career

Robin Hood Truth or Myth? For hundreds of years, people from all over the world have been captivated by the legend of Robin Hood. Every child knows about the famous outlaw and his band of merry men who lived in the Sherwood Forest. Scholars, however, are not sure if Robin Hood was a real person.

To modern day society, the name “Robin Hood” brings about the discussion of a heroic outlaw in English folklore. Although many people see Robin Hood as just an archer and a swordsman of Nottingham, he was so much more. He worked for the common good of the people and despised the wealthy. In current day, he is infamous for robbing the rich and giving to the poor alongside his Merry Men. There are countless tales and ballads relating to Robin Hood. Some tales include; “Robin Hood and the Monk,” “A
In the days of King Harry II, Robin Hood was an adventurous, kind gentlemen and good yeoman. For instance, he was the most courteous outlaw in all of Sherwood. Although he did steal from the rich to get his money, it was for a righteous purpose. There were many impecunious people in England, and Robin Hood provided for them. He never kept the money for his own selfish lusts or desires. When the tale of Robin Hood is told, it gives a clear perspective of his fearless, honest, and compassionate heart
Growing up in Nottingham allowed me the great privilege of experiencing a diverse childhood, meeting people from all walks of life and living in a strong tight-nit community. I came to know many people who could be considered ‘under-privileged’ due to their cultural and economic background along. I have always asked myself the question “Why?”, Why are these people where they are? Why can’t they escape it. As I grew and matured I began to gain a greater understanding particularly from my study of

When Enoch return home from school that day, he finds himself all alone in the big empty house. On the one hand it is the biggest dream to be alone
such a hero at this point in time? When Robin Hood is first mentioned in history it is around the time of Richard the Lionheart who, instead of being king, was off fighting the crusades and left Prince John to rule. Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham (a supposedly distant relative) are told to have taxed the poor until they had nothing left. The most common story of Robin Hood tells that he appeared at this time and stole from the wealthy to give to the poor. It would seem more appropriate

The common hero is defined as courageous, noble, admirable, and they often have little to no flaws and do not make mistakes. However, in the epic poem Paradise Lost by John Milton the idea of a hero can be defined as ambiguous. While many characters display heroic qualities, no character can be solely defined as a protagonist or antagonist. Other works that hold this ambiguous hero aspect include Robin Hood, Dr. House from House, Pancho Villa, and Jessie James. Each of these characters challenge
Although he was loved by the peasants, they didn’t have the power to protect him from the law. Not much is said about the effects of what he did, but it may have caused more uprisings and revolts against the uneven distribution of money in cities like Nottingham. It could also have caused the corrupt rulers to realize their wrongdoings and make the changes necessary to make things right again. But more likely than not, it aggravated the rich and made them enforce more restrictions on income. Robin Hood’s
