More about this scene

The place-name allegedly refers to 'a tree of extraordinary bigness' that once stood in Hatfield Forest. The tree is now called the Doodle Oak. The Market Square is notable for the Cock's elaborate ironwork bracket, and for the famously wonky timbered carriageway (centre right).
