St Briavels history
The hundred of St Briavels is the largest in the Forest of Dean and its boundaries approximate to the Forest boundaries. The name is thought to be from a much-travelled early Christian missionary, Brioc, whose name also appears in places as far afield as Cornwall and Brittany. At Windward, the highest point in the parish, the land rises to 800 feet (240 m) above sea level.
Freemining
In the Middle Ages, local miners were highly valued for their digging skills during military campaigns. King Edward I granted ‘Free-Mining’ status to all Forest of Dean coal and ore miners. Other peculiarities to the area include the ancient right for ‘sheep badgers’ to let their flocks roam freely.
