Frank Oman thought that Kingsfield House might have got its name from King William camping in the field at the rear of the house in 1690 – Frank Oman, ‘Old Crumlin disappearing’, in ‘Chat’, Mar. 1972. But Finola Watchorn has found medieval documents referring to the King’s Field as a place where the Crumlin manorial court was held – Finola Watchorn, ‘Crumlin and the way it was’.
