More about this scene
Tackett or Ticket Wood is said to get its name from the nonconformists who worshipped here illegally centuries ago. Tradition suggests that tickets would be issued for these meetings by worshippers so as to avoid infiltration by spies, who might betray them to the authorities.

My grandmother, Mary Honor Parsley, was born here in 'Ticket Wood in 1900, my mother Jacqueline Oldman too in 1925. Honor's mother was born Elizabeth Ford, sister to Philip the house owner I believe. The big house is now gone and replaced with something much more contemporary! Tackett Wood was/is the local Deb'n vernacular for the area.
