Approximate location of Plumpton Park.
By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2015-08-11.
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 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 is a Plumpton Park or Plumpton Close in Low Bradfield that figures in MS sources of 1792 and/or 1796 according to A.H. Smith,[1] who also cites the related name Plumpton Lane, a place name that still survives. Immediately north of Plmpton Lane is a small wooded area. Perhaps this was once known as Plumpton Park?
