Hello all,
 For anyone doing research in the area of Coleford
in Gloucestershire England. I would like to bring to your  attention a
superb book.

"Coleford the history of a West Gloucestershire forest town"
  By Cyril Hart (ISBN 0 86299 091 2)   (573 Pages)

Dr Cyril Hart O.B.E.  is a recognised authority on the history of the
Royal Forest of Dene and it's surrounding towns and  villages. The book was
first published in 1983 and covers the following time periods:-

Roman (410-577), Saxon (577-1066), Norman (1066-1154),
Angevin Period (1154-1282), 14th, 15th Centuries and beyond  Property
Transactions (1275-1658), Maps back to 1608, Bells Grammar School
(1630-1650), James 1st, Charles 1st, and the Commonwealth period
(1609-1660), ....... right up to 1983 in fourteen chapters.

The book is a gold mine of information to Genealogists, or  those who would
like to know more about the history of a
small town in south west England.

Just to give some idea of the depth of coverage, here are the names
starting with A in the index to people, the index is 35 pages long !!!
