You may already know, but the excellent Victoria History site has a few hits for "Wynols", see the green highlights on the pages here

"At Wynols Hill, where a house was recorded in 1499, a three-storeyed house built in the mid 17th century belonged to the Skynn family of Clearwell in 1699. During the Second World War it was part of a prisoner of war camp and soon afterwards it was demolished."


"In 1799 thirteen Baptists, including members of the Trotter family, re-formed the church at Coleford with William Bradley as its minister and built a small chapel, registered in 1800, in Newland Street. The new church grew rapidly, notably during John Fry's pastorate 1814-39, and in 1824 it had 112 members and a large Sunday school. In 1818 some Baptists registered Wynols Hill house, where John Trotter lived, for worship.


Whether these are both the same house I do not know.
