A small close formerly known as Plumpton Park.

A then enclosed area on the north brink of Bank Wood Beck, c. 300 m NW of Emley Grange, c. 1.7 km WNW of Emley and c. 6 km SW of Wakefield, was known as Plumpton Park in 1841. This is also the name in the Gest of Robyn Hode of an area – probably near the home of the knight Sir Richard at the Lee – where King Edward discovers to his chagrin that Robin Hood has severely depleted the stock of deer. Though this latter Plumpton Park is most probably to be thought of as the locality in Lancashire, this is not entirely certain, and it seems best, therefore, to record all occurrences of the name.

The field name occurs in the tithe award for 'Elmeley' (1841), where occupier is listed as Matthew Dawson, owner as George Hutchinson, an area of 19 perches (Template:AcreRoodPerchToM2 m2) and 'Garden' listed as 'State of Cultivation'.[1]Template:PnItemQry
