In the ''[[Gest of Robyn Hode|Gest]]'', King Edward is exasperated at noticing the scarcity of deer in Plumpton Park after Robin and his men have been poaching there during their stay with the knight. We should almost certainly take this to be in Lancashire, but it could just possibly be some place King Edward is meant to have visited after his progress in Lancashire. As Cheshire is a neighbouring county it is conceivable that a Plumpton Park in that county may have been intended. | In the ''[[Gest of Robyn Hode|Gest]]'', King Edward is exasperated at noticing the scarcity of deer in Plumpton Park after Robin and his men have been poaching there during their stay with the knight.

(The former?) Plumpton Park.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-18. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2022-05-17.
In the Gest, King Edward is exasperated at noticing the scarcity of deer in Plumpton Park after Robin and his men have been poaching there during their stay with the knight. We should almost certainly take this to be in Lancashire, but it could just possibly be some place King Edward is meant to have visited after his progress in Lancashire. As Cheshire is a neighbouring county it is conceivable that a Plumpton Park in that county may have been intended.
J. M. Dodgson in the English Place-Name Society's third volume on Chester, notes a 'Plumpton Park' near Shrewbridge House,[1] slightly south of Nantwich. His source is the 1841 tithe award for the township of Baddington in the parish of Aston,[2] in which the plot is listed as No. 8, with the Right Honorable Francis Jack Kilmorey as landowner, Peter Cornes as occupier, 'Meadow' as state of cultivation, and an area of 3 acres and 34 perches (13000.53 m2). Turning southeast from Shrewbridge Road, one has a c. 250 metres long field on one's right (southwest); a c. 55 metres wide strip of this field along the lane was a separate plot known as Plumpton Park in the mid-19th century. See adapted map detail included in the image gallery below.
