in 1853 Marmaduke Layer was the woodman.
The Crown woodlands were later administered as Reddings Inclosure, comprising the north end of the parish and the adjoining Hadnock wood with a woodman's lodge at the old building, Knockalls Inclosure, in the south of the parish with a lodge at the south end of Staunton Meend, and Marian's Inclosure, in the east of the parish and including also land in Coleford tithing. (fn. 15) In 1843 Staunton parish comprised 1,015 a. of old woods and new plantations, 407 a. of farmland, and 62 a. of commonable waste. (fn. 16)

Interested to find reference to an aged ancestor.
Marmaduke was my Great-grandfather's great-uncle. His surname was Laver, not Layer :-) Born in Chigwell in 1814, married twice and died in 1901 in Monmouth. I believe he rests in Parkend churchyard, Lydney.
