During the Great War JRR Tolkien spent time in the training camps on Cannock Chase and would have been familiar with the hall and village of Great Haywood (Tavrobel).

Tolkien describes the home of Elven Lord Gilfanon at the confluence of two rivers Gruir (Sow) and Afros (Trent) at the Grey (Essex) Bridge.
