A map and story board on the Robin Hood Trail, Nottingham.
On this map of the Robin Hood Trail numbered icons indicate the position of these boards, this is #4 by St Nicholas' Church.
The board tells the story of Robin's first encounter with Friar Tuck which results in a battle of wits in which first one and then the other gains the upper hand and forces the other to carry him across a river. This ends in the Friar tossing Robin into the river.
There is also a 'snippet' which asks whether or not Robin Hood was religious - given that in the tale he has tricked a member of the clergy.
