The Forest of Dean claims many famous names to have been born here, or resided here for a while. All of the places mentioned below are within a short drive of the cottages.

Sir Jimmy Young was born in Cinderford and had his first job at the baker’s there. The writer, Winifred Foley was born in Brierley near Cinderford
Dennis Potter was born in Coleford, as was
Edna Healey, Author and wife of Denis Healey and
Robert Mushet who perfected the modern steel making process before Bessemer.
From a historical perspective, we should include the Horlicks brother who invented the eponymous night-time drink whilst living in Ruardean.
Not too far away from us, and still from the Forest of Dean are Ivor Gurney, the poet, Rupert Brooke, John (Boycie) Challis, John Hylon Watts, Sir William Wintour and Sarah Siddons.
Also worthy of a big mention is J K Rowling, author of the famous Harry Potter books, who lived at Tutshill near Chepstow and went to school at Wyedean comprehensive in Sedbury. Some of the scenes for the Harry Potter films are being shot in Gloucester Cathedral.
