A field in Oswaldkirk in the North Riding of Yorkshire (now North Yorkshire) was known as Little Barnsdale in 1838.
The field is listed in the tithe award for Oswaldkirk with Edward Oakley Banner, Esq., as owner, William Bland as occupier, 'Grass' as state of cultivation, and an area of 3 roods and 37 perches (Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2).[1] While the field name may have arisen independently, it may also have been transferred from that of Barnsdale (Doncaster) or Barnsdale (Exton), or just possible that of Barnsdale (Great Easton) or Eagle Barnsdale. Only in case it was named after the area north of Doncaster is there a likely connection with the Robin Hood tradition. The other Barnsdales have no connection with the outlaw.
