MARKET TOWNS OF GLOUCESTERSHIRE (from SDUK Penny Cyclopedia)

Mitcheldean in 1838

Mitcheldean, a small market town, situated in a deep dell in the Forest of Dean, 10 miles west of Gloucester, has a church of some antiquity, with a roof of oak timber finely carved. A subterraneous passage, concerning which many curious stories are told, leads from the church to a wood upon a hill about half a mile from the town. The population of the parish in 1831 was 601 ; the number of houses 150.
