VIEWS AROUND
TANWORTH-IN-ARDEN

Tanworth in Arden The green at Tanworth-in-Arden, showing the village pub.
Tanworth-in-Arden Another view of the green at Tanworth-in-Arden, showing shops at the left, a nice red pillar box, and the church beyond.

We always like to see hollyhocks growing outside people's houses, at the left of the picture.

This is quite a small green, but was presumably much larger before the tarmac roads were laid around its sides.

Tanworth Church The 14th century church of St Mary Magdalene.

The churchyard contains the gravestone of folk icon Nick Drake, brother of Gabriel Drake, who became a cult figure after his death.

Tanworth was also the filming location for the village of Kings Oak in the TV series Crossroads. More: Crossroads Appreciation Society.

View from Tanworth Churchyard This is the view from the Churchyard, across the Arden countryside.

Running right to left across this picture, in the distance, is the Stratford to Birmingham railway line. There is a photo taken from the railway, looking towards Tanworth Church near the bottom of this page: Forest of Arden Train Ride.
