The Langetts, near Bream (General)

by saskins, Monday, January 17, 2011, 14:47 (5066 days ago)

I have today recieved a 1902 birth sertificate giving the place of birth as The Langetts (or possibly The Longetts) near Bream.

Would anyone on list be able to pinpoint the exact location for me please.

Many thanks, Shirley Askins

2011 address [ on Pastors Hill above The Anchorage]
Langetts House, Brockhollands, Bream, Lydney GL15 4PW


Down the lane from Bream towards Brockhollands farm is an area marked as Peaseley on the 1881 map and Langitts on the 1903 map, also includes a terraced house on the right near the junction, the northern dwelling is marked as Langitts House

Later the small hamlet of Brockhollands, on a hillside above Cannop brook, was formed north-west of an ancient farmstead within Newland parish. (fn. 53) A row of brick cottages had been built near the road from the Tufts to Bream by the early 1870s when, following the diversion of a new road to Whitecroft, a land society sponsored by a Conservative building society laid out roads for a housing estate lower down the valley side. (fn. 54) Two pairs of houses had been built at Paisley (or Peaseley) by the late 1870s (fn. 55) but the venture was abandoned and most of the roads have disappeared. A row of stone cottages was built on the Bream road in the 1880s or 1890s (fn. 56) and later buildings there included a few houses and bungalows. Further along the road several cottages were built near Pastor's Hill, another farmstead of Newland parish, before 1840. (fn. 57)
