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 is perhaps worth noting that Plumpton Park occurs as a field name in Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, formerly the North Riding of Yorkshire. The source is an 1847 tithe award. In present-day terms. the site is situated on the east side of Gillamoor Road, c. 100 m NNW of Keld Head Road, in the northern outskirts of Kirkbymoorside.
In the tithe award for the township of Kirkbymoorside in the parish of Kirkbymoorside, drawn up in 1847, Plumpton Park is listed as arable land with an area of 7 perches (Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2). Its owner/occupier was a John Richardson, shoemaker.[1] Template:PlaceNamesItemQuery
