Plumpton Park, a field name in the vicinity of Ryhill.

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-07. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2019-06-07.

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. According to A.H. Smith,[1] Plumpton Park is listed in an 1843 MS Tithe Award as a field name near the village of Ryhill, which latter is located c. 10.5 km WSW of Wentbridge and Barnsdale.

With the aid of the MS tithe award,[2] a georeferenced 6" O.S. map of the area online at NLS,[3] and Google Maps, it is possible to establish the coordinates of this locality fairly accurately. It is shown on 19th century 6" O.S. maps of Ryhill as a rectangular enclosed area at the corner of a large field, just north of the then existing Common Ing Lane. The site is located c. 900 m NE of Ryhill and c. 400 m N of Havercroft, and c. 400 M WNW of Horncastle Farm, which latter still exists and may thus serve as a point of reference for locating the site of Plumpton Park on modern maps. The 1843 tithe award lists the land as arable, the occupier as Richard Cuttle and the owner as the Crown. Template:PnItemQry
