Hi Carol

I find the Forest Church the most interesting and unusually these days it is unlocked. The next most interesting, from my viewpoint is Ruardean Church, which is currently having repair work on the steeple. I have posted recently a plan of the graves there which an official was kind enough to let me photograph. There are a lot of interesting churches, but if you have time the Dean Heritage Centre at Soudley is well worth a visit :

Ernest Griffiths 1863 is my 3rd cousin 3 times removed, so we will be related. I will send you an email and perhaps we can help each other with our researches. I have just been checking on Free BMD and Ancestry and from what you have quoted in your thread, would I be right in thinking this is Ernest ?
