  THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD At first it bled the thicke thicke blood
  And afterwards the thinne
  
  And well then wist good Robin Hood
  
  Treason there
  was within
  
  The death of Robin Hood is a well known legend. He was treacherously bled to death by the wicked prioress of Kirklees nunnery, a small Cistercian house near Brighouse, West Yorkshire. The outlaw’s gory and unheroic end is shrouded in mystery. Who was the evil nun and why did she commit so foul a murder? What was the role of Red Roger of Doncaster, who was present at the scene of crime? Was he a priest and also the prioress’s lover? Who WAS the prioress? Was she Dame Elizabeth de Stainton, whose grave can still be seen at Kirklees,or was it Sister Mary Startin, who died of the Black Death in 1350?
  
  All that is left of this medieval whodunit is a ruined grave,hidden in deep woodland, and the derelict priory gatehouse of Kirklees where Robin was so gruesomely done to death. Was the famous outlaw a vitim of thwarted passion,pagan sacrifice,bad nursing,accident,natural causes or------- vampirism ? The entire area where this horrific drama took place is shrouded in,according to one old book, " .....a mystery which local people only reluctantly tried to penetrate.The mystery was helped physically by the thick shroud of trees that surrounded the place and was sustained by local tales of prioresses and nuns and of the death of Robin Hood......."

  OASIS
  
  Over the past few years reports of paranormal phenomena at Robin Hood’s Grave have been reported to the Yorkshire Robin Hood Society. One of the earliest stories was from an elderly lady who used to visit her aunt in Hartshead many years ago. She and a friend often heard Robin calling for Marian over Kirklees, which was just down the hill, and on one occasion they found a silver arrow near the grave.
  
  In the early eighties,Barbara Green was told by Roger Williams, a local man, how he saw the apparition of a white lady on two occasions when he was clandestinely visiting the grave. On both occasions,1963 and 1972,he saw the same woman gliding across the grass and stated,"Wild horses would not drag me there again."
  
  Barbara Green also had a terrifying experience at the graveside, seeing forms which she identified as the wicked prioress and Red Roger of Doncaster. Mark Gibbons,too, saw the white figure and vowed never to go near the grave again.Two reporters,Judith Broadbent and Sue Ellis,experienced strange happenings at the gravesite and Sue was taken seriously ill immediately after her visit.
  
  However, the most enigmatic and controversial paranormal phenomena was reported by Bishop Sean Manchester of the Holy Grail Church, who masterminded aN unofficial mini exorcism at the gravestite in 1990.According to Uri Gellor, "Sean Manchester is the most famous vampire hunter of the twentieth century." This claim to fame came about largely due to the bishop’s investigation into the Highgate Cemetery vampire in the nineteen seventies, which earned him a great deal of fame--and notoriety ! At that time, he was not a bishop, but a lord,reputedly descended from the charismatic nineteenth century poet,Lord Byron, to whom his lordship bore a striking resemblance in those days .
  
  Bishop Manchester’s investigations into the Robin Hood situation led him to conclude that vampiric infestation was the cause of the evil atmosphere ,strange accidents and spectral sightings. These incidents have been written about fully in Barbara Green’s books,SECRETS OF THE GRAVE due out at the end of the year.
  
  During the Kirklees Vampire investigation,Otley artist and psychic invetigator Evelyn Friend tried to exorcise the evil vibrations in the area by blessing the ley lines which originated at the grave-site. These ancient lines of mystical power were discovered by the Yorkshire Robin Hood Society in 1986--they stretch from the grave to Hartshead Church,The Three Nuns Inn,Castle Hill at Huddersfield and Alegar Holy Well in Brighouse.
  
  The Vicar of Brighouse, the Reverend John Flack was asked to perform a blessing service over the grave, but was taken to task by his bishop and had to withdraw his offer. Shortly afterwards,his church was vandalised for suspected occult purposes. Two other local bishops were asked to intervene and use their position to press for a blessing ceremony , but both declined to be involved in no uncertain terms. In fact, they were decidedly " not amused" and completely disassociated themselves from the entire situation, and strongly advised Miss Friend and the rest of the ghostbusters, to leave well alone. Blessings indeed ! Whatever next?
  
  The mystery of Robin Hood’s Grave remains unsolved at the present time,though it is far from forgotten. We would be very interested to hear from anyone out there who can suggest
  
  how we deal with this very peculiar and frustrating situation. In the meantime, the deterioration of Robin Hood’s Grave and Kirklees Priory Gatehouse continues.
  
  Reasonable People.
  
  It is interesting to read that " reasonable access" is always afforded to Robin Hood’s Grave at Kirklees. Through-out the 1980’s and 1990’s the Yorkshire Robin Hood Society politely requested access to Robin Hood’s Grave and were either ignored or refused. Therefore it would be interesting to know just what kind of people are deemed as being "reasonable" and how one passes the vetting process. Many other people besides the YRHS, were not allowed to pay their respects to England’s hero, who lies in a neglected and derelict site, miles from anywhere in deep, dense woodland. These "unreasonable" people indeed, have felt justified in risking the gamekeepers and their blunderbusses and trespassed in order to see Robin’s Grave, as it was the only way they were going to manage it. I am sure Robin would have approved of this modern day outlawry a gainst the modern equivalent of the Sheriff of Nottingham. I have received hundreds of queries from people who have asked and been refused access to the Kirklees sites , and while the YRHS would never actively encourage trespass, they certainly have maps and descriptions of the site on their website. This has been interpreted to mean that we encourage trespass by the Kirklees newmen who have made it their business to be "guardians of the gate !" Still, it would be nice to know how to pass the "reasonable" test. I know for a fact that ghost hunters, vampire hunters , German film makers and " famous" film presenters like Tony Robinson have been there, presumably for a substantial fee, as well as elderly American professors who are absolutely bowled over, and various others, who are either rich, famous or considered too "important." to fob off. However, local history groups, Father Flack, (now the Bishop of Huntington!) , the disabled and miscellanious humble others,including , recently , a small, struggling film company , obviously didn’t quite make the "reasonable" grade and were sent off with a flea in the ear !

We are aware of various websites that encourage this practice and show maps and give descriptions on how to get to the grave and other areas of interest on the Kirklees Park. Lady Armytage is very approachable and has never refused any reasonable request to visit. The estate where possible will even supply a knowledgable guide to take you around - but this is down to staff availability. Due to the low staffing levels now required by modern agriculture, we cannot accommodate visits from people who simply turn up and insurance issues prevent us allowing such people to wander around unattended.

  !985-1990 Several letters written to Lady Armytage asking if the YRHS can visit the grave and gatehouse. All letters either ignored or send back saying she is too busy.
  
  1987 I writes manuscript The Outlaw Robin Hood his Yorkshire Legend and takes it to Calderdale Council. Jane Branton Tourist Officer says it is good but they cant publish as they have to keep a "low profile" over Kirklees. Same happens elsewhere with other councils --for five years! Paul Sheenan the director of Calderdale said he had to protect Lady Armytage's privacy.AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE OWNER OF THE LAND!!!!!!!
  
  1988- Ruth and I summoned to Kirklees for interview with Lady Armytage and Martin Webster. Lady A says that THE " Robin Hood business is a nuisance" but agrees that the society can visit.

  They say they cant put anything about RobinHood in as the grave is on private land.
  
  1985--1990--Letters s sent to English Heritage, National Trust, Save Britain's Heritage, Yorkshire Archaeological Society etc--all say the same--they cant do anything about the grave or gatehouse because it would upset Lady A's privacy.
  
  1989 East Midlands Tourist Board published a brochure about Robin Hood Country and missed out the grave. I contacted Petr Allan its chief officer and asked him why the grave had not been mentioned. He said Calderdal Council had forbidden them to put it in!!! I sad they could not stop him. Mr Allan said CC were acting on instructions from a "higher authority>"
  
  1989 Tales of Robin Hood opened in Nottingham, they had asked me for info on the grave. I went to have a look and saw a picture of the grave and three locations for it which were not in Yorkshire! I asked the manager Graham Black why he had made this mistake and he said it was not a mistake--I could not get a sensible answer from him!
  
  1990---1992 During this time we got many reports of paranormal activity around the grave. We asked the Church to do a blessing. Father John Flack agreed to do it but then got told off by the Bishop of Wakefield who had got a flea in his ear from Kirklees.
  
  Bishop Genders of CR did a blessing from Mirfield. Irate letter from the Bishop of Pontefract about our concerns over the site being on a ley line etc, causing all the bad luck.
  
  1991 Father Lionel Fanshaw from Fortean TV was going to come off but it was called off at the last minute.
  
  1991 The Outlaw Robin Hood finally published by Kirklees Cultural Heritage.
  
  1991-- I was asked to be on a TV programme about Kirklees but it was called off at the last minute and they got someone else.
  
  1991-- ONE SUCCESS--ZDF--A German tv company did a Robin Hood film and we were included, filming at Hartshead Church--they were allowed by the graveside but the YRHS weren't.
  
  1991--we did various radio broadcasts but there often seemed to be hitches, Evelyn had problems with Radio Leeds. Ian Clayton was asked by Drew about doing Robin Hood--she said he would love to but "they" wouldn touch it with a bargepole.
  
  1991-- Sean Manchester, our patron, who is now a priest of the Old Catholic Church, allegedly led a vampire hunt up to the graveside.
  
  1992---1999---I was ill with a heart complaint and also looking after my parents so nothing happened during these years.
  
  1998 ? I GOT A COMPUTER !!!!!2002 I am attacked on an Internet Message Board the World Wide Robin Hood Society by John Armytage who accuses me of all sorts of nonsense , having got his "facts" from certain people and got the whole story muddled up. As can quite clearly be seen from the previous information and chronology, the YRHS met a brick wall of obstruction from the word go.
  
  2002-- Bradford University approach the YRHS to assist in film about Robin Hood of Yorkshire.
  
  2004-- Eventually found out that the film, which I helped with, ended up at the censors of Kirklees and was stopped.
  
  Outlaws and Nuns walks started, Yorkshire Robin Hood Society refused permission to promote their books and postcards by David Norcliffe, the head gamekeeper of Kirklees.
  
  8.8.02 A letter written by David ***** was published on the Fortean Times Message Board with defamatory comments about me. It was written to Sean Manchester who he told me he thought was crackers. I met DH the day after he wrote this letter about me, and he was Mr Charm himself. I thought we had sorted a few problems out with the Kirklees situation, that was why I had asked for the meeting, but all the time he was going round my back writing tittle tattle, though he did not realise Manchester was going to publish it! He gave me no satisfactory explanation as to why he had written this derogatory letter, but by then he had moved onto Kirklees territory in some kind of gamekeeping capacity so he knew which side he bread was buttered.
  
  2003 Took part in Scream Team TV interview but I wasn't allowed at Kirklees, but it actually went out on air. Scream Team was allowed an all night vigil at Kirklees when Sean Manchester had been refused. David *******said they trespassed but this seemed very unlikely and Ronnie Buckingham their medium said they did not trespass.
  
  Attacks a gainst the YRHS especially me, continue by people who dont know the true facts on message boards. All these old men from abroad, especially America, cap-doffing because they had been allowed to visit Robin Hoods Grave when a local historical group, the YRHS had always been refused--(which eventually led them to trespass., as I am Robin would have suggested himself!)
  
  2004-- Attended International Conference for Outlaws Studies in York to try and sort the professors and suchlike out--lectured on the Prioress.
  
  2004 --Catherine F was given permission from Lady a to visit the grave, which truck us both as very odd, as she usually only allowed "important" people( sorry Catherine--dont mean you're not important!)
  
  2004 Red Monkey Film Company ask us to be involved in their film about Robin Hood of Yorkshire.
  
  2005 Tony Robinson from Time Team allowed onto Kirklees and got on TV saying he had more or less made all these discoveries about Yorkshire and RHG . Found out from Richard Rutherford Moore that his research team had been told not to approach the YRHS. Contacted the Researchers and they said they had been told to keep away from us as we were "dodgy" but wouldnt name names.
  
  2005 David Farrant lead a blessing ceremony at the graveside .
  
  2007 Some kind of problem going on with Red Monkey film connected with footage taken at Kirklees and looking like a repeat performance of all that has gone before! We are told of "secret" negotiations.

• Misrepresentation of Bishop Seán Manchester by Diana Brewester (Member 10032845) on 25-Feb-2008
  This rebuttal is posted in the name of Diana Brewester to honour Bishop Seán Manchester's late personal secretary.
  
  Misleading and factually inaccurate statements that are potentially libellous and damaging to the reputation and office of Bishop Seán Manchester have been posted by "greenwych" aka Barbara Green.
  
  I am a personal friend of the bishop; so I am more than acquainted with all the f
  acts and the history of similar misrepresentation courtesy of Barbara Green who has been asked on innumerable occasions to desist with this harassment and abuse. I shall go through each of her allegations separately.
  
  Bishop Manchester's denomination is the traditional wing of the Old Catholic Church and his primacy is for Ecclesia Apostolica Jesu Christi. He has always belonged to the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church to which his jursidiction belongs. He did not mastermind or even intimate any intention of carrying out a "mini exorcism" at Kirklees in West Yorkshire. What he organised was a vigil.
  
  Bishop Manchester did not conclude that the Kirklees spectre was a vampire. In fact, no conclusion was ever arrived at regarding the alleged Kirklees phenomenon.
  
  Bishop Manchester allowed the use of his name on letterheadings of the YRHS to help attract donations for charity. He withdrew his consent when no apparent donations were made and after all the then YRHS membership, bar, of course, Mrs Green herself, had either resigned or disappeared.
  
  Bishop Seán Manchester did not lead a "vampire hunt" at Kirklees.
  
  Only brief extracts of David Hepworth's alleged correspondence appeared on the aforementioned forum. The person responsible for the appearance of these extracts was not Bishop Manchester who did not consent for portions of the correspondence to be published. The person who did reveal brief excerpts was later reprimanded.
  
  Bishop Seán Manchester was not "refused" permission because he did not personally apply for consent to visit the grave. The Vampire Research Society, however, did request permission which was declined.

• Re: robin hood kirklees by The Overseer (Member 10233461) on 22-Nov-2008
  I agree one hundred percent with the previous comments about Barbara Green and her misrepresentation of Bishop Manchester about whom she is obviously obsessed.
  
  Barbara Green and her then friend Ruth Harrington met Bishop Manchester and his wife by sheer chance at an open air carnival in South Herfordshire in May 1987. Bishop Manchester was open to the idea of his name being used on letterheadin
  gs by Barbara Green's Yorkshire Robin Hood Society for the purpose of the YRHS raising money for charity.
  
  The second and last occasion Bishop Manchester and his wife saw Barbara Green, still with Ruth Harrington but now joined by Laura Green, was in May 1988. On this occasion everyone was in medieval attire in keeping with the nature of the charitable event itself. I believe some money was raised but it was entirely the decision of the YRHS, ie Barbara Green, as to what happened to it.
  
  Barbara Green never saw Bishop Manchester or his wife again after that meeting. An occasional exchange of correspondence dwindled as members of the Yorkshire Robin Hood Society, which Bishop Manchester had no direct involvement in, left one by one. By the time Barbara Green struck up an acquaintance with people engaged in a vendetta against the bishop in the mid-Nineties, the only member left in the YRHS was Barbara Green herself. Her connection with those antipathetic toward the bishop effected an immediate schism with Bishop Manchester. There had been barely any correspondence between Barbara Green and Bishop Manchester in the period prior.
  
  When Catherine Fearnley became acquainted with Barbara Green an attempt was made to relaunch the YRHS with the ringleader of the anti-bishop faction as its "patron," but it failed to attract any members as reflected on the various forums and message boards started up by Barbara Green in the name of her interest.
  
  By the second and last occasion Barbara Green met Bishop Manchester in May 1988 she was already in contact with self-proclaimed "master of the black arts" John Pope whom she accompanied at night on Hallowe'en thirteen years later to the Kirklees grave for the purpose of a ritual. Another ceremony at the Kirklees grave occurred one evening in April 2005 when Barbara Green led a small group of occultists to its whereabouts on private land and participated in the witchcraft that followed. Barbara Green supplied her local newspaper (the Brighouse Echo) with photographs of the illicit occult ritual over the grave which they publ

  ROBIN HOOD'S GRAVE-- UNIQUE HISTORIC SITES AT KIRKLEES STILL HIDDEN FROM PUBLIC BY NEW MANAGERS
  
  Part 1 Introduction
  
  Part 2 History
  of site
  
  Part 3 Ghosts and vampire tales
  
  Part 4 Timeline 1984-2009
  
  PART ONE.
  
  DEEP in the heart of an ancient woodland in West Yorkshire,hidden beneath a formidable barrier of fierce thorns and dense undergrowth, there is a hidden grave. Here rest the mortal remains of Robin Hood, the Prince of Robbers, England’s outlaw hero,bloodily slain by the Prioress of Kirklees Nunnery six hundred years ago and cast into an unhallowed grave. Today Robin lies forgotten and unmourned in his lonely and desolate sepulchre, for few people know of the grave’s existence or its whereabouts. Why is this so ? Should not such a monument be an international place of pilgrimage and Yorkshire, not Nottingham, be the centre of the famous folk hero’s legend ? A mystery indeed which this short article attempts to unravel a little.
  
  With the death of Lady Armytage last year there were hopes that more interest from Calderdale Council and long overdue improved public access would be forthcoming , but such is sadly not to be as it appears that some kind of posthumous guardianship in the form of a Trust has been set up involving the people who live in the luxury flats at Kirklees Hall . Lady Armytage , who inherited the hall, and has one daughter and a step -son from Sir John’s first marriage, sold it after Sir John's death in 1983, but as Robin’s grave and the medieval priory gatehouse where he died was outside the hall’s boundaries, remaining on Lady Armytage’s side of the estate , it seems odd that the flat owners are now involved in the administration of the sites.
  
  So, what are we to make of all this? Is it simply the whims and fancies of the aristocracy who wish to continue their privileged feudal existence of blood sports and house parties undisturbed by the common hoards or is it something more sinister, involving the occult and certain people seeking to control the network of ley lines around Robin Hood's Grave, for their own nefarious purposes. There have been many reports of " strange goings on " at the gravesite and even the reputed sighting of a vampire! Perhaps, also, the funny handshake brigade may be lurking in the sidelines , determined to keep this magical place to themselves.
  
  The story of Robin Hood is well known but that of his death and the site where it took place, and of the evil prioress, her l
