Bishops Wood

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bishopswood is a small village on the Staffordshire boarder to Shropshire. It is home to the famous Royal Oak public house. The first pub to be named so, after the nearby Oak tree which king Charles II hid in near Boscobel House.

The area is steeped in history and probably derives its name from the country residence of the early Bishops of Lichfield. Boscobel House, the famous King Charles Oak tree, Whiteladies Monastery, The Blackladies and Weston Park are all within easy walking distance.
