Hi Rheola,

The Butchers Arms is in Clearwell a couple of miles from Coleford, visit
pubinnguide.com for more details. My maternal family are from around Coleford,
my uncle, Joseph Barnfield-Hale was landlord of 'The Feathers' in the 1960s,
I recall it was originally called 'The Plume of Feathers'. I was in Coleford this weekend and was horrified to see the state of 'The Feathers'. It was a great meeting place for various Forest 'Lodges', I've lots of happy memories of the place.

You will find this website very helpful, I'm sure it won't be long before you get loads more information.
