Lydbrook House
Lower Lydbrook
Lydbrook GL17 9NN

Lydbrook House, one of two early 19th-century brick houses at the bottom of Lower Lydbrook, was built for James Pearce (d. 1827), the owner of an adjoining malthouse. About 1840 it was the home of the ironmaster William Allaway.

I am looking for information about this doctor. He is the son of my great great uncle.

He was doctor in Lydbrook for most of his life and he lived at Lydbrook house .
He had a wife called Annie and 2 sons.
I would love it if someone had a picture of him or even of Lydbrook house

From the description it is given on the garden cafe website, it sound very like the house he grew up on.

He was a different personality from his brothers and cousins, they were all farmers by trade. He was the first professional of the family.

please contact me even if you only have a wee story to tell, it would help buid up a picture of him.
