The edge of Chepstow can be seen in the distance along with the retained field above the proposed housing. Almost none of the development would be visible from this direction.

The Site area is a small distant element in this wide panoramic view; the Racecourse buildings, at a similar range and in the same sector of view, are much more visible and draw the eye. A narrow band of housing would be barely visible above the existing Grange development and at this separation distance and in the context of the built edge of Chepstow, any visual effects would be negligible.

  • Piercefield in 2019
    Piercefield in 2019 I visited the Piercefield estate in May, 2019, using the descriptive leaflet and map Wye Valley, Picturesque Piercefield, (Wye Valley ANOB [Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty], 2012) in combination with the Ordnance Survey Outdoor Leisure map no 14 (Wye Valley and the Forest of Dean). In addition, a copy of a detailed description of the remains of the main features (other than the house, gardens and buildings associated with them) by Ken Murphy, The Piercefield Walks and Associated Picturesque Landscape Features: An Archaeological Survey, (Cambria Archaeology, 2005), 56pp. This shows some of the paths other than the main one, most of which are now inaccessible. The following notes are meant to compliment the above leaflet and report. Clicking on the links will automatically down-load copies. The following description includes photographs taken during the visit in May 2019 plus some of the 18th and early 19th descriptions of the features. For more detail see my web pages which contain over 220 descriptions of Piercefield and Windcliff in chronological order: Piercefield pre 1802 Piercefield 1802-1824 Piercefield 1825-1900 Piercefield Introduction which includes descriptions of the House Piercefield features which has all known descriptions of the many features of the Piercefield estate. John Wesley, the Methodist preacher, made many preaching tours of Wales. He visited Piercefield in 1769: I took a walk through Mr Morris’s woods. There is scarce anything like them in the kingdom. They stand on the top and down the side of a steep mountain, hanging in a semi-circular form over the river.

  • The Forest at the Crossroads?
    An Interview with our new Chair - Cecile Hunt Ed: Cecile, I believe that you are a Forester, can you let us know a few details about your family history and your family’s relationship with the Forest? I was not born a Forester but I am a part bred Forester. I was born in Surrey; and in 1959 with my two older brothers, Gra- ham and Paul, Mum, Violet Croad nee Worgan and Dad Walter Croad we came to live at Lower Oldcroft, Nr Lydney. My Father’s family came mainly from London and the Isle of Wight; but Mum had been born on Littledean Hill in 1915, whilst her father George Worgan was serving in France during WWI. Grandad, George Worgan was seriously injured at Ypres and eventually came home to a cottage Granny had rented at Soudley Mill, now the Dean Heritage Centre. Ed: How do you believe the Society has changed since it achieved Charity status? Since the Society became a charity it has gone from strength to strength. Charity status has help it to fulfil two high profile projects; The Miners Memorial and the GeoMap. Being ac- countable to the Charity Commission has meant that the society has had to become more pro- fessional in how it is run and draws up its yearly reports; this helps the society to continuously broaden its outlook year on year. Ed: As you start your time as Chair, are there specific goals you want to achieve Going forward, and building on the firm base laid by previous chairmen and women, I would like to try and get younger people more involved with the history and the heritage that sur- rounds them in the Forest.
