Jem the Slipper was a hermit who lived in a cave on or near Great Doward, Symonds Yat - several years either side of c1860. Does any know more about him, which cave did he live in. What happened to him and what was his real name. I have looked at the censuses with a view to identifying him but found no one who fits the bill. I have been told that their is some information on him in a local pub, which one? Thanks for any help.
