Barnesdale Crescent is one of a dozen residential streets in St Mary Cray (formerly a parish in Kent, now part of the London Borough of Bromley) whose names were more or less certainly inspired by that of a small wood that existed in this area before urbanization kicked in: Robin Hood Shaw. The Middle English 'e' in the first element of the name 'Barnesdale Crescent' and the presence of other Robin Hood-related names in the immediate vicinity leave no doubt that this place-name is indeed meant to suggest a Robin Hood connection.
