Place of Baptism ? .... Lodge ?? (General)

Grateful for help with identifying pretty illegible 'Place of Baptism' on the Non-parochial BMD registers site. If you're a member, it's RG4 / piece 1952 / folio 16. 15th November 1817, Baptism of Mary Ann Joynes, parents Thomas and Sarah Joynes. (Can't find it as a baptism on the forum parish registers.)

'Parish of Abode' is transcribed as: "Lodge, Forest of Dean, Goster [sic]". The original handwriting isn't very clear, and there is something written before what I think could indeed be 'Lodge'. The first bit could be 'Parish of', but why would that be written in full, rather than just 'Lodge' ? And if Lodge, can anyone identify the place ? Not listed in the drop-down menu baptism locations. Have tried various maps, google etc, without success.

Incidentally, there were two of them from the same family baptised on the same day, Mary Ann and Edmund.

Thanks in advance, as always, for any pointers !
