Inspired by Robin Hood and his Lincoln Green clothes dyed with Woad and Weld. The shield carries a verse from the Keats poem "Robin Hood":- "Honour to the old bow-string! Honour to the bugle-horn! Honour to the woods unshorn! Honour to the Lincoln green! Honour to the archer keen! Honour to tight little John, And the horse he rode upon! Honour to bold Robin Hood, Sleeping in the underwood! Honour to maid Marian, And to all the Sherwood clan! Though their days have hurried by Let us two a burden try. " Painted by Deven Bhurke.
