- Location of Gisburn. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-07-11. Revised by … Gisburn, formerly in the West Riding of Yorkshire, now in Lancashire, is perhaps the most likely candidate for being the hometown of Guy of Gisborne of the ballad Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne (see Evidence below). The place-name is first mentioned, as 'Ghiseburne', in Domesday Book (1086). The name probably means 'Gushing stream', referring to a stream that has its origin in springs above the village. Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, pt. VI, pp. 164-65. Nearby is Gisburn Forest. Smith, A.H. op. cit., pt. VI, p. 167.
