- Pagham, Bognor Regis, Sussex, where once was a place named Loxley. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-11-23. Revised by … This lost place-name in Pagham parish could be derived from 'Loxa', the name of a stream, but more likely it is from OE lox, 'lynx,' "used here in the form Loxa as a pers. name, hence 'Loxa's clearing' [...] but no certainty is possible." It is recorded as 'Loxelegh', 'Loxelee', and 'Loxeleye' in 1316, 1344 and 1359, respectively. Mawer, Allen 1969a, pt. I, pp. 94-95. As this was apparently lost in the 14th century, it seems distinctly unlikely to be the Loxley associated with Robin Hood c. 1600.

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, and in that case, a possible locality might be a Plumpton Park Plantation that figures in the 1851 tithe award for Huddersfield.

- Guisborough. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-07-11.

From the 11th to the mid-19th century, the form 'Guisborough' ('Guisbrough' etc.) had strong competition from the form 'Gisburn' ('Gyseburne' etc.) Smith, Albert Hugh 1928a, pp. 149-50; Pease, Alfred Edward 1928a, 'Notes on the Nomenclature of the Town of Guisbrough' (unpaginated appendix).

- Fountain Dale. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-10-08. Revised by … The B-version of the ballad of Robin Hood and the Curtal Friar, from a broadside dated c. 1660, refers to the friar's place of residence as both "Fountains Abby" and "Fountains Dale". Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, pp. 161-64. Fountains Abbey: sts. 7, 39. Fountains Dale: sts. 10, 11, 39, 41. According to Dobson & Taylor, since the early 19th century the Fountains Dale of the ballad has been identified with a wooded area – one of the few surviving vestiges of Sherwood Forest – north of Ravenshead and Blidworth. The name 'Fountain Dale' is first found applied to this area on the Greenwood brothers' 1826 map of Nottinghamshire. Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, p. 301, s.n.

- Hollington, in whose vicinity was situated a field called Plumpton Park according to an 1820 Enclosure Award. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2016-06-16. Revised by … 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 probably take this to be in Lancashire, but it is worth noting that Plumpton Park occurs as a field name in Hollingworth, Derbyshire. The source is an 1820 Enclosure Award.

- A plot of land here was formerly known as Plumpton Park Moss. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2021-01-26. Revised by … In 1845, a plot of arable land in Tarleton was known as Plumpton Park Moss. It was situated on the east side of Johnson's Meanygate, c. 350 m north of Gorse Lane. 'Plumpton Park' is the name in the Gest of Robyn Hode of an area in Wyresdale, where King Edward discovers to his chagrin that Robin Hood has severely depleted the stock of deer. This Plumpton Park is thus not identical with that in Tarleton, but since various other localities than that in Wyresdale have been suggested as the intended locale, IRHB considers it of some interest to compile as full a list as possible of localities with this name. The field name occurs in the 1845 tithe award for the parish of Tarleton, where the landowners are recorded as Sir Thomas Hesketh and George Anthony Legh Keck, the occupier as George Dandy, its area as 3 acres and 24 perches ( m 2 ), and the state of cultivation as …5 KB (704 words) - 17:33, 17 May 2022
- The left marker indicates approximately the origin of River Loxley, the right marker its mouth. By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-09-20. Revised by … River Loxley is an affluent of the Rivelin near Bradfield and Sheffield. Its sources are located c. 16 km NW of Sheffield on Bradfield Moors; it flows easterly through Damflask Reservoir and is joined by Storrs Brook at Storrs near Stannington and the Rivelin at Malin Bridge before flowing into the Don at Owlerton in Hillsborough. The total length of the river is about 10 km. According to A. H. Smith the river was almost certainly named after the village or area of the same name near Sheffield Smith, Albert Hugh 1961a, vol. VII, p. 131. which is often said to be the Loxley connected with Robin Hood. At the most, therefore, its connction with the outlaw tradition is indirect.

This area is c. 850 m east of Little Plumpton in the township of Westby-with-Plumptons.

'Plumpton Park' is also the name in the Gest of Robyn Hode of an area in Wyresdale, where King Edward discovers to his chagrin that Robin Hood has severely depleted the stock of deer.
