HISTORIC NOTES

Dean House is situated adjacent to farmland at the edge of this historically interesting small village, but close to the village centre. It is understood that the village in the medieval era was one of the largest townships in Wales and is believed to have been established by the De Clare family from which the cul-de sac gets its name. The family were apparently connected with the local sourcing of iron and charcoal, which were invaluable in the manufacture of armaments to aid military campaigns in Wales. Local history tells us that much of the village was destroyed in hostilities in 1291, as well as suffering the adverse effects of later hostilities associated with Owain Glyndwr in the early 1400s.    The structure of the village’s church of St. Nicholas is said to date from the 13th and 14th centuries. The route through the village was undoubtedly of great importance, as evidenced by the Lion Inn which was a coaching inn and which is still open today.    Other historic sites close to the village include St. Anne’s Well, which is just out of the village close to the lane leading to Tintern. The water from this well is considered by some to have healing capabilities. Harold’s Stones, also to be found close to the village, consists of three standing stones of the locally found conglomerate type with granite pebbles embedded in sandstone.  This type of stone was also utilised locally to fashion cider mill stones, being suitable for the purpose as they could be sculpted to shape but were very hard wearing due to the granite content.

 

For those interested in walking, in the immediate area there are pleasant walks available, with the infamous Wye Valley, the Forest of Dean and the Offa’s Dyke path within convenient travelling distance.
