Tips for BARNETT/BARNARD Mitcheldean/East Dean (General)

by Smiler, (3 hours, 52 minutes ago) @ Barnettfamily

Just been researching my houses history. It was originally built around 1820 to 1840. It was called fairview cottage. It is on the rocks at the top next to fairview quarry
Now 2 houses and not to be confused with the row terrace cottages that still exist now called fairview cottages.. however my house was originally built to house workers in the quarry that was really prominent in 1840 onwards. The house was built out of quaried stone. I have traced back Bernard's living in this house and a number of other cottages on the lane of the rocks.
If you search under fairview cottage. The rocks . Plump hill. Gloucestershire. This should give you more information. They were one if 3 very prominent families associated in this location.
Hope that helps.
