Walford (Church? Chapel?) Ruardean (General)

by Jerry Hale, (6846 days ago)

I am not clear about Walford. I see marriages there in 1695. Was there a church or chapel of Walford? Was it located in Ruardean? I understand that it was an extension of Monmouth? Can somebody explain it please?

Walford is a parish north of Lydbrook / English Bicknor and west of Ruardean.

So that s the geography sorted !

Now all you need to know is the time line........

i.e. when each parish came into existance etc.

Slowhands,

Thank you for that info. On my parish map http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/GLS/GLSImgMap1.html(parish boundaries and place name spellings relate to the 19th century") there is no parish in Gloucestershire shown that fits your description. I guess that means it is in Wales? I haven't found a map that shows Walford.

What I want to find, if it exists, is a photo or a painting or a sketch of the chapel or church, for use in my "History."

Is there a chart somewhere which lists the dates for formation and dissolution of the various parishes? I haven't found it.

Again, thank you for your assistance.

There is a period (don't ask me when !!)where marriages for Ruardean were performed at Walford because the vicar lived there.

There is a postcard in the church (St Michaels and All Angels) with a line drawing of the church on. If you want to let me have your email address I can attach it to an email as I don't think I can post it on this website? Not sure how well it will come out but worth a try.

Thank you Lesley, my address is IowaGob1 (at) juno.com (replace the (at) with

If it is possible to scan the card at 300 dpi or better I'm sure it will be very useful. Thanks again for your help.

Ruardean Church

Ruardean Church
http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=23261#s8

Corn and hay tithes in Ruardean belonged to the precentor of Hereford cathedral as appropriator of Walford church, of which Ruardean was a chapelry, and small tithes to the vicar of Walford

The parish registers survive from 1538 but most marriages between 1690 and 1735 took place at Walford.
