Edwinstowe is a large village in Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire, England, with associations to the Robin Hood and Maid Marian legends. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 5,188.
The village name meaning Edwin's resting place recalls that King (and Saint) Edwin of Northumbria's body was hidden in the church after he was killed in the Battle of Hatfield Chase, near Doncaster, probably in 633. The battle against King Penda of Mercia occurred near the present-day hamlet of Cuckney, some five miles north-west of modern Edwinstowe.
Edwinstowe is referenced twice in the Domesday Book. It records that there were five households, in addition to one priest and his four bordars, living in the hamlet in 1086.
Legend has it that Robin Hood married Maid Marian in St Mary's Church. Edwinstowe's present-day popularity is due mainly to the presence near the village of the Major Oak, a feature in the folklore of Robin Hood.
Thoresby Colliery served as Edwinstowe's main source of employment until July 2015, when the mine was permanently closed. The loss of the colliery, one of the last remaining and part of a national closure of the British deep-mined coal industry, has left tourism as the primary branch of the local economy. Nottinghamshire County Council's nearby Sherwood Forest Visitors' Centre is scheduled for redevelopment and improvement, with a contract awarded to RSPB, intended for completion by late 2017 at a projected cost of £5.3 million.
Edwinstowe has six pubs: the Black Swan, the Dukeries Lodge, Forest Lodge, Hammer and Wedge, the Manvers and the Royal Oak. Other catering facilities include the Edwinstowe Bistro Restaurant, the Cottage Tea Rooms, and Launay's Restaurant.
Environmental concerns are addressed at the Maun Valley Project Conservation Area.
Edwinstowe had a railway station between 1897 and 1955. A goods line remains. The nearest railway station today is at Mansfield (6 miles, 10 km). The village is served by twice-hourly, daytime Monday–Saturday bus services to Mansfield and Ollerton, six buses Monday–Saturday to Worksop, and one bus Monday–Friday to Nottingham. Services run twice a week to Newark and once a week to Lincoln.

Robin Hood & st mary's church, nottingham.
Robin Hood, in the earliest known printed collection of his adventures (c15th / 16th century), declared his enemies to be Bishops, Archbishops, and the Sheriff of Nottingham. (Not, you will note, the Sheriff of York). These were typical of the people who Robin perceived to be corrupt, and who perhaps benefited most from the Norman conquest of England, when many lands and properties were redistributed; probably before Robin's day but grievances can be carried for a long time. However, much as he obviously despised Bishops, Robin Hood was a very spiritual man and is said to have prayed daily to the Father, the Holy Ghost, and Our dear Lady. Indeed, such was his devotion to the Virgin Mary that these same tales tell us he would not harass any group passing through Sherwood Forest that had a woman in its company.
The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin stands in the Lace Market area of Nottingham and was built in 1474. However, the Doomsday Book records a church standing on this site as long ago as 1086, though that was destroyed in the 12th century by Henry 2nd's soldiers. The present building dates from 1474, but it was the previous church (fragments of which can still be found on the Birkin Building situated in the Broadway), that Robin Hood is said to have attended mass at. On one occasion he was recognised by a fat headed monk he had once robbed. The monk wasted no time in contacting the Sheriff of Nottingham, and a sword fight ensued in the church nave. During the fight Robin's sword broke in two and he was forced to surrender and be taken into custody at Nottingham Castle. He was of course rescued, and learned not to enter the city again without being effectively disguised.

Sherwood Forest is a famous ancient forest located in the village of Edwinstowe, in Nottinghamshire, England. It was designated a Royal Forest during Medieval times, and during that time it became associated with the legend of Robin Hood, a legendary outlaw that robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Today, people can visit the forest and look a ancient oak trees, some going back 800 years. This includes The Major Oak, a tree that is believed to be over a thousand years old and is claimed to be the spot where Robin Hood and his Merry Men would meet. Near the Forest is St. Mary's Church, a 12th century church that is said to be the place Robin Hood married Maid Marian.
Among the ancient trees, people claim that the forest is haunted by phantom bandits and travelers. Are these stories true? Join Charles and his friend Andrew as the hike around Edwinstowe and Sherwood Forest to see if that is true.

This was filmed in my village of Edwinstowe.
My brother is part of the Queens Royal Lancers and he took part in the parade.
All the family was proud of him for what he did.
He is a role model to me and I wanted him to be my first video on my NEW channel.
