From "The Forest of Dean by Humphrey Phelps"
.....Matty and Lenny Butler were Gypsies and they lived at Horsepool Bottom and Mr Preddle, who had married their sister Sinfoy, lived in the corner. Matty ground knives and scissors and some times he would fall asleep on the path through the woods from Cinderford with his machine still strapped to his back. Lenny made baskets and pegs, and Mr Preddle made kettles, meat tins and saucepans. They may not have been rich in worldly wealth, but they did live close to St Anthony's Well.
