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.

According to a forthcoming ''VCH'' volume,<ref>See [http://www.victoriacountyhistory.ac.uk/sites/default/files/work-in-progress/barlow_introduction.pdf Barlow: Introduction to forthcoming ''VCH'' volume,] pp. 5-6</ref> there was once a place named Plumpton Park northwest of Barlow, not very far from Barlow Grange. It is indicated on Jeffery's 1772 map of Yorkshire. A.H. Smith<ref>{{:Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a}}, pt. IV, p. 24.</ref> cites an 1841 Ordnance Survey map as its only source. I have not seen Jeffery's 1772 map; the coordinates and map location shown here are (I believe) those of Barlow Grange.
A 'Plumpton Park' is indicated on Jeffery's 1772 ''Map of Yorkshire'' in an area ''c.'' 500 southeast of Selby, slightly north or west of Barlow Grange.

Plumpton Park would have been located not very far from the point indicated.
Barlow Grange, north or west of which was a locality known as Plumpton Park in the late 18th century / Google Earth Street View.

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.

A 'Plumpton Park' is indicated on Jeffery's 1772 Map of Yorkshire in an area c. 500 southeast of Selby, slightly north or west of Barlow Grange. The map has it south of 'Old Carr Wood', north of 'Brackenhill and 'Botany Bay Inn'.[1] The name may have applied to much of the area now bounded by the A63 on the north, East Common Lane to the east, Thief Lane to the south, and the A1041 to the west. A. H. Smith notes the place-name, citing an 1841 Ordnance Survey map as his source.[2] IRHB has found no entry relating to this Plumpton Park in the tithe awards for Barlow, Burn, Drax or Selby.
