More about this scene

It was originally just Tanworth, but the suffix was added in the 19th century to avoid confusion with Tamworth, which is now in Staffordshire but was then in Warwickshire. Modern houses proliferate in Tanworth now, but the old chestnut tree (glimpsed top left) still casts a shade over the green, and the Bell Inn (top and bottom left), across the road from the green, is still in business.

Does anyone out there have any information about James Ferris Cooke. He was a horse clipper and I believe worked on a local estate. His wife was Jane Palmer from Preston Bagot and they had a grand daughter Edith who was a teacher in Hockley Heath. I understand they lived in Spring Coppice Lane. James and Jane were my Gt Gt Grandparents.
