Whitecliff House, Newland, is in my ancestry,and I would love to know its history. My great-grandmother was born there in about 1855. Her name was Lucy Watts and her father, John Watts, operated a Pottery in Whitecliff in about approximately 1840 - 1880. I have information about the pottery. Whitecliff House was occupied in 1876 by Robert Hoskins Fryer Esq., and in 1902 by Charles Trotter. There was also Whitecliff Farm occupied by James Thomas, Farmer, in 1876, and Whitecliff Villa occupied by Mrs. Hullet in 1902. There is also a reference to Cliff Cottage, Whitecliff in 1876. I don't know is these addresses have any relation to Whitecliff House. Does anyone have any information about the history of Whitecliff house, which apparently is still in existence. I recently came across a company called "The Really Well Co. Ltd." whose business is University/College/Prof. School" and whose address is Whitecliff House, Whitecliff, Coleford!!
Does anyone know anything about my "ancestral house"???
