Kingston Vale history
Etymology
The vale part was little-inhabited and known as Kingston Bottom until the middle of the 19th century. The name is featured in a variety of documents dating from 1791 to c. 1850. The earliest record of the new name Kingston Vale occurs in the 1861 Census Returns.
Robin Hood Place Names
The name of Robin Hood has long been associated with the Kingston Vale area close to the Robin Hood Gate of Richmond Park. The association with Robin Hood is thought to have arisen from Robin Hood plays and the May Day Games put on in Richmond Park for the entertainment of Henry VIII.
The Kingsnympton Park Estate
The Kingsnympton Park Estate was originally part of “The Knoll”, a large house with extensive grounds along Kingston Hill next to Richmond Park. In 1881 it was the scene of the Kingston Hill Murder. The house was then owned by Harry Powys-Keck of Stoughton Grange, Leicestershire. In 1914 Mr Crowther built his mansion, “Haygreen”, named after his Yorkshire village.
