Sedbury history
Sedbury is located on the eastern (English) side of the southern end of Offa’s Dyke, a defensive ditch and dyke built in the late 8th century by Anglo Saxon King Offa of Mercia to mark the border with Wales. After the Norman Conquest, the manor of Tidenham, which included Sedbury, fell within the lordship of Striguil, or Chepstow. It was transferred to Gloucestershire following the abolition of the Marcher lordships through the Laws in Wales Acts 1535-1542.
Sedbury Park
Sedbury House was designed by Sir Robert Smirke, the architect of the British Museum. The surrounding estate was established, as Barnesville, around 1800 by Sir Henry Cosby. In 1825 it was bought by the historian and antiquary George Ormerod, who renamed it Sedbury Park. The estate included 25 farms in Tidenham, Hewelsfield and Woolaston. The house was the home of Colonel Sir Percival Marling, V.C., before he sold it in 1921.
