We've had a request from a long lost relative of William Cobbett who's researching their family tree (see Feedback at the bottom of this page). If anyone's got any info on the Cobbett family tree they'd like to share then please email to admin@cobbettroad.info and I'll pass it along.

Cobbett Road was named in 1883 after William Cobbett (1762-1835) who lived at Botley and is author of The Rural Rides, but is better known for his championship of the common man.
