Being of the Yorkshire branch of the Herbert family, we are also interested in local history. Having once visited one of the Gate Museums in York, we were interested in a large display of families who fought in the English Civil Wars. I notices with interest that in one of the battles the Herbert family fought on the side of the Lancastrian. To make quite certain of my Herbert's future loyalties, I purchased him a White Rose badge in the gift shop.He now knows which side he is on should the need ever occur. I will look forward to reading the article on the Battle of Coleford and any other conflicts in the area. Regards Jean Herbert

a skirmish taking place in the town when an army
consisting of 1500 foot soldiers and nearly 500 horsemen
was opposed by a party of Parliamentarians led by
Colonel Berrowe. According to legend, the attacking
forces lost Major-General Sir Richard Lawley who was
shot through the eye, and the town's market hall was damaged.
