Plumpton Park Plantation.

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 might be a Plumpton Park Plantation that figures in the 1851 tithe award for Huddersfield.[1]
