The site is shown on the OS Map as being just north of the A38 to the south of the village, by a slip road.
The address of Major General Victor David Graham Campbell, CB, DSO, OBE, High Sheriff of Devon in 1968 is given as Beggar’s Bush, South Brent. The address is given in modern documents as Beggars Bush, Glazebrook.
The earliest record I can find is the advertisement of the Will of a Marion Goodwin advertised in 1950.

Somerset Historic Environment Record includes two entries for sites adjacent to Beggars Bush Copse, which is shown on the OS and 1946 as a trapezoidal copse, perhaps the remnant of a larger area. Entry 12557 refers to evidence of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation preserved in the copse. This is on the north east edge of the village, on the southern edge of Shapwick Heath, between Burcott Lane and the remnant of a track. Entry 16213 refers to an unidentified mound to the south of the track. Read the rest of this entry »

The name appears in lists of places compiled from the 1891 and 1901 censuses.
Rudbaxton (pron. “ribeston”) is a parish just north of Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, east of the Haverfordwest to Fishguard road. The late nineteenth century OS Maps show a hamlet consisting of St Michael’s Church church and a few buildings which seem to form one farm. No precise location is given. Near are place names such as Folly, Lands End, Cold Blow, Thornbush, Furzy Mount and Withybush. The population of the parish fell by third from 1844 to 1929. The soil is described as “rabby”.

The name is listed in the Tithe Apportionment, along with other named coppices, forming part of Pamber Forest.
The current OS Map shows a Beggars Bridge Copse, at the northern end of the present forest, east of Tadley and north of an old Portway. This is consistent with the location of Beggars Bush Coppice within the survey and likely to be the same place.
