i'm going to be controversial !

the bridge and the hill look like the viaduct from Mitchel Troy to Wyesham , just south of Monmouth, with Penalt woods on the hillside.

Dear Judith

I have now added the will of Thomas Probert to this sight which was kindly transcribed by the FOD, they continue to be very supportive and inspirational.

You will clearly see from the will that Thomas Probert had a farm in stowfield, which is near the left hand side of the arches at Lydbrook and property in Lydbrook itself including the Mill.

If you also visit English Bicknor you will see a large tomb in the grave yard.
