  • The Battle for May Hill’ by Marion Shoard
    ‘The Battle for May Hill’ by Marion Shoard Published in the Newsletter of the Friends of the Dymock Poets, Issue no. 59, Summer 2013 May Hill is probably the most important geographical feature for the Friends of the Dymock Poets. The poets derived their inspiration from the countryside around them. As they walked and talked together along the field paths and lanes, they constantly got their bearings from that unmistakable, reassuring upturned saucer with its fuzz of pines atop – May Hill. As Edward Thomas recalled in his essay about the Dymock country, ‘This England’: ‘Again and again we saw, instead of solid things, dark or bright, never more than half a mile off, the complete broad dome of a high hill six miles distant, a beautiful hill itself, but especially seen thus, always unexpectedly, through gaps in this narrow country, as through a window’. Several FDP walks have taken in May Hill, where members have read aloud ‘Words’, the delightful poem which Edward Thomas composed from its slopes while on a cycling trip with John Haines, the Gloucester solicitor and amateur botanist who joined the poets on many of their walks-talks. In view of this connection, when FDP member Alexander Maltby, who lives on May Hill, contacted the FDP about a plan to build a five-bedroom mansion on an isolated site on its slopes, the committee was concerned. Alas, we do not have the capacity to check every planning application, so we can deal only with selected cases. Barbara Davis and I were the first committee members to go and visit the site, and this is the submission which Jeff Cooper, our chair, sent in on behalf of the FDP to Forest of Dean District Council, which will grant or withhold planning consent.
