Lydney history
In 1588 the Vice-Admiral of England Sir William Winter was granted the manor of Lydney in recognition of his services against the Spanish Armada. In 1810, docks were constructed to capitalise on the town’s location, close to the River Severn. In 1940, the Pine End Works was built on Harbour Road, a Government run.
The Lydney Murder, 1964
In 1964 the town was the site of the Lydney Murder, a significant case in the history of the use of entomology to assist criminal investigations. By studying the maggots found on the body, forensic entomologist Professor Keith Simpson was able to establish a date of death of 16 June 1964. William Brittle, a business partner of Peter Thomas, was convicted of the murder.
