Friends of Cannock Chase
Friends of Cannock Chase
Our History and Objectives
For many years Cannock Chase has been under serious threat of encroachment from several quarters. In response to this the original Friends of Cannock Chase were formed in 1934 largely under the sponsorship of the late Mac Wright a well-known local historian and journalist.
Following the second world war Cannock Chase came under severe pressure from the Services. This led in November 1947 to the formation of the present Association, mainly due to the enthusiasm of Dr. Peter Jennings.
