Middleton by Wirksworth, in whose vicinity was situated a field called Plumpton Park
according to an 1841 Enclosure Award.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-08-19. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-02-14.

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 Middleton by Wirksworth, Derbyshire, in 1841.

The source is the tithe award for the 'Township of Middleton by Wirksworth in the Parish of Wirksworth' (1841), in which Plumpton Park figures which Gell Philips, executors of Edward Sacheverll [sic] Chandos Pole, Esq., and John Cruse, Esq., as landowners, Samuel Brooks, sen., as occupier, 'Meadow' as state of cultivation, and and area of 1 rood and 22 perches (1568.16 m2).[1] As is usually the case with field-names, this Plumpton Park is not found on the 6" O.S. maps of the area (see maps listed in Maps section below).
