Okay, here's a clip I found featuring the circus proprietor and perhaps his aforementioned elephants in a different location, apparently he owned quite a few tho and this clip is nowhere near the current tag. So again useless and potentially pretty misleading but kind of interesting.

He was a circus proprietor and retired close to the current tag and a local resident said his elephants used to graze on the land between the two woods. He was indeed as oat44 pointed out murdered by one of his farm hands in 1911.
The open air theatre where the current tag is was said to been built in 1920 and in a small wood.
Sorry this is trickier than I thought it was going to be.
