Stanley House, Tillers Green, Dymock (STRANGE)

Hi Strathayre, welcome to the forum !.
Stanley House is still at Tillers Green, Dymock and to this city-dweller looks a very attractive home indeed in peaceful green surroundings !
Searching the web suggests it's current residents even share my name, J.Jones, sadly there the similarity ends.... their full contact details may be found on this listing in case you'd like to ask them for more information about the house or it's history.

To look it up via GoogleMaps etc their postcode is GL18 2AP. Alternatively try it on the OldMaps site to get a sense of the area when your ancestors lived there.

Re Dymock itself, according to the Victorian researchers this name was once "DY-MOCK, meaning the Swineherd's Cottage". This 1876 Trade Directory shows Stanley House as the home of Mr Henry Strange, who was either a "Clergy, Gentry or Private Resident", suggesting the House was a desirable address in those days too.

Here is a modern photo of it, sadly a little distant.

The embankment alongside the House is the route of the Gloucester & Hereford Canal; both House & Canal are clearly shown on the oldest map on the Old Maps site, an easily-read largescale 1884 Ordnance Survey map. http://www.old-maps.co.uk/maps.html
Shown alongside the canal so a little further from the house is the proposed route of the GWR Gloucester & Ledbury railway, which was built by the time of the 1902 map on the same website. North of the House the line appears to have used the old canal bed route as the canal seems to have disappeared from the map by then. Clearly the arrival of the railway was progress for many, but I suspect the residents of Stanley House may have harked-back for the quiet canal boats ?.

That photo is one of this set of many views of this beautiful area, there's even a shot of the local Garage owned by a distant relative of mine, a shame his traction engine wasn't in the photo.

Hope this helps your researches.
