More about this scene

The character of the village has changed greatly in recent years as commuters have discovered it. Modern houses surround it now, but the heart of the original village is the Green, with its chestnut tree, Georgian houses and The Bell Inn, still bedecked with flowers as in this picture.

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.
