Goldsborough has a tenuous connection with the Robin Hood tradition in that the name of this town was the surname of one of the three persons who, according to [1568 - Grafton, Richard - Chronicle at large|Richard Grafton] and Nathaniel Johnston, lay buried in the original [[Robin Hood's Grave (Kirklees Priory)|Robin Hood's grave]] at [[Kirklees Priory]]. On Johnston's drawing the slab bears the inscription "Here lie robard Hude Willm Goldburgh Thoms". Administratively Goldsborough now belongs to North Yorkshire.{{#ask:[[Category:Records ({{PAGENAME}})]]|format=embedded|embedformat=h3|columns=1|limit=1000|sort=Utitle|intro=<h2>Records</h2><div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed records" data-expandtext="Show records" data-collapsetext="Hide records">|outro=</div>}}
