Redbrook church / parish (General)

Well St Saviours is a "recent" church compared to the 1750 dates you are interested in, I suspect the parish of Redbrook is too, so back in the 1750's it was "probably" part of Newland parish (a chapelry).

"REDBROOK, a chapelry in the parish of Newland, hundred of St. Briavel's, county Gloucester, 2 miles W. of Coleford, and 3 S. of Monmouth. It is situated in Dean Forest near the river Wye. There is a tin mine. The living is a curacy annexed to the vicarage* of Newland, in the diocese of Gloucester and Bristol."
