More about this scene

Little remains today of Shakespeare's Forest of Arden, only isolated islands of woodland in a sea of agriculture. But the name lives on locally. Unlike the more famous Henley-in-Arden, however, Tanworth received its suffix quite recently, in an attempt to put an end to confusion with Tamworth (Staffordshire).

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.
