“It takes a long time to say anything in Old Entish, and we never say anything unless it is worth taking a long time to say.”
The Ent tree. Allegedly the inspiration for the Ents in The Lord Of The Rings as Tolkien would walk these woodlands when he was stationed in Brocton.
During the Great War Second Lieutenant J. R. R. Tolkien of the Lancashire Fusiliers was stationed in Staffordshire, first at Whittington Heath, near Lichfield, next at a musketry camp at Newcastle-under-Lyme, then at Rugeley and Brocton Camps on Cannock Chase. After his marriage in March 1916 Tolkien’s wife came to live in Great Haywood so that she could be close to him. Tolkien regularly visited Edith in the village until he was posted to France in June 1916.
