Within Little Dunmow's pretty church lies a tomb purporting to hold one of the most intriguing literary figures in English history. Maid Marian of Robin Hood fame is said to be buried here, or rather, the woman who served as the inspiration for her.

Matilda Fitzwalter was the daughter of Baron Fitzwalter, the Lord of Little Dunmow and instrumental in the signing of the Magna Carta.

Story has it that Matilda fell for a knight who turned out to be Robin Hood and spurned the affection of future king, Prince John, leading her to flee her home.
