Barnesdale Crescent is one of a dozen residential streets in St Mary Cray (formerly a parish in Kent, now part of the London Borough of Bromley) whose names were more or less certainly inspired by that of a small wood that existed in this area before urbanization kicked in: [[Robin Hood Shaw (St Mary Cray)|Robin Hood Shaw]].

Barnesdale Crescent.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2017-12-25. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-06.
Barnesdale Crescent is one of a dozen residential streets in St Mary Cray (formerly a parish in Kent, now part of the London Borough of Bromley) whose names were more or less certainly inspired by that of a small wood that existed in this area before urbanization kicked in: Robin Hood Shaw. The Middle English 'e' in the first element of the name 'Barnesdale Crescent' and the presence of other Robin Hood-related names in the immediate vicinity leave no doubt that this place-name is indeed meant to suggest a Robin Hood connection. See further the page on the St Mary Cray place-name cluster.
