Cannock is divided into six liberties: Cannock, Great Wyrley, Huntington, Hednesford, Leacroft and Cannock Wood.
Cannock Wood extends from two to four miles NE of Cannock, and is the liberty which includes part of Beaudesert Park and Radmoor Abbey ruins. It has a few good farms, and 275 inhabitants, and includes a large portion of the open heath, where there are a number of cottages, with small plots of garden attached.
