Robin Hood started this custom after he befriended the landlord of
the pub on his travels between Nottingham and Carlisle.
The landlord had hidden Robin Hood in the pub – some say it was a
priest's hole – when the authorities were following him.
The landlord's reward was a share in some of Robin's ill-gotten gains.
The money was hidden near to the rock, and the only way the landlord
could find the money was to paint it yearly so that Robin Hood on his
travels could see that the hoard was being looked after, because the
stone was newly-painted.
One year, as a joke, the landlord painted the stone pink not
believing the legend.
There was an uproar in Halifax and the pub went out of business later
