It was in this wood in 1835 that what is thought to be the last battle on English soil took place. During a period of unrest a group of rural labourers led by John Tom, who called himself Sir William Courtenay, entered into battle with soldiers after Courtenay had murdered a local constable. A total of 11 men were killed including 8 of Courtenay's followers.
