Nor by me e'er shall you,
You of all names the sweetest and the best,
You Muses, books, and liberty, and rest,
You gardens, fields, and woods forsaken be,
As long as life itself forsakes me not.
(Cowley) Translation provided by Peter

In the wall of a house called 'Robin Hood Inn'. Built by Thomas Halliday, local Unitarian Minister. The house was designed to be fire-proof, because Halliday suffered a family bereavement due to fire. The stairs and beams apparently are all stone.
Halliday also owned Loxley House, just below the common, which he rented out to his friend Thomas Payne (not Thomas Paine).
