More about this scene
William Hancocks of Blakeshall Hall and his wife laid the foundation stone of Cookley church on 20 February 1849. From the Hancocks family in 1920 was the gift of a chair believed to have belonged to Richard Baxter. The Piper Family were also benefactors. They had between them several houses, and in the garden of each they planted a mulberry tree - school children from the village dance around the one at Shrubbery House. It was customary to ring the school bell when good work was done.
