More about this scene
Cobham stands on Watling Street and was once a busy market centre. It was here that Charles Dickens wrote and set some of 'The Pickwick Papers', and where the 'clean and commodious ale-house' to which Mr Tuppence retried from the world could be found. A half century after the era of Dickens there are still several places where the traveller can take refreshment: Webb's is advertising teas, next door is a tea garden, and beyond that yet another sign advertising refreshments. St Mary Magdalene's church in the village contains the county's first collection of monumental brasses, commemorating the Cobham family.
