Robin Hood Bold Outlaw from Loxley - Norman Conquest
Leah - sorry this wouldn't drop as a link but there is the address. Tinsley means "field of council". It is from Old English. The original estate was granted by William the Conqueror to a John de Busli, a Norman that accompanied him from France to war against the Anglo-Saxons. He was the first Lord of Tinsley. Tinsley was quite likely a surname taken by the people who lived on the land. The page referenced is a quick lesson in the Normans and Wm. the Conqueror.
Hope this helps.
