Tanworth-in-Arden

Tanworth-in-Arden (/ˈtænwərθ ɪn ˈɑːrdən/; often abbreviated to Tanworth and not to be confused with Tamworth in Staffordshire) is a small village in the county of Warwickshire, England. It is located south-east of Birmingham in the Tanworth-in-Arden parish and is administered by Stratford-on-Avon District Council. The population of the parish was 3,104 at the 2011 UK census; this figure includes the small village of Wood End, about one mile north of Tanworth-in-Arden but located within the parish.

The suffix to the name Tanworth refers to the Forest of Arden in which the village lay. Notable historical buildings still standing in the village include The Bell Inn public house and the 14th-century Church of St. Mary Magdalene. The boxer "Gentleman" Jack Hood was the licensee of The Bell for 36 years, displaying above the bar the Lonsdale belt that he won on 31 May 1926. (The belt was sold by his daughters in 2011.)

Tanworth was the childhood home of folk musician Nick Drake and his sister, the actress Gabrielle Drake. His grave lies in the parish churchyard.
