I found this on the British History website regarding an article in the
quoted works below and this citing an earlier article in the Gloucester Journal regarding the Forest Eisteddfodau.

One annual competition, the Forest of Dean eisteddfod started in 1897, was usually held at Double View school in Cinderford. (fn. 35)

From: 'Forest of Dean: Social life', A History of the County of Gloucester: Volume 5: Bledisloe Hundred, St. Briavels Hundred, The Forest of Dean (1996), pp. 381-389. URL: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=23270&strquery=EISTEDDFOD%20FOR...
