Miss Grace's Lane, Tidenham (General)
I passed the lane the other day and wondered who "Miss Grace" was. Does anyone know please?
Miss Grace's Lane, Tidenham
the southern stretch of Madgett Road,
the only part of the two routes surviving
to become a metalled road, was later called Miss Grace's Lane
after the occupant of Chase House during the earlier 20th century.
(fn. 65)

A new farmstead, Chase Farm (later Chase House), and a few cottages were built on the chase soon after its inclosure in 1815, (fn. 60) and more cottages, in a fairly compact settlement east of Chase Farm, were added in the middle and later years of the 19th century.

Chase House is situated in a particularly attractive setting between the Rivers Wye and Severn a few miles north of Chepstow on the borders of Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire.
Chase House is a handsome period building dating back to the 1830's.

The main reception rooms with their fine period features such as shuttered windows, interesting fire places, decorative coving and block flooring. A kitchen with wood burner and full range of fitted units and a study.
An elegant staircase leads up to a half landing with a recently installed shower room and large bedroom beyond. At the top, a spacious landing has doors off to four more bedrooms and a family bathroom.
On the north aspect, the original school rooms are now a self-contained flat.
The gardens lie principally to the south and west and comprise of terracing, backing on to a pair of large lawns dotted with mature trees.
