The village of Yorkley is to the northwest, and the hamlet of Viney Hill is to the northeast. HistoryOldcroft is situated near the "Dean road", a medieval route that ran between Lydney and Mitcheldean.[1] In the 17th century there were cabin dwellings in Oldcroft.[2] Much of the early settlement was by squatters, and in 1782 there were thirteen cottages recorded at Deadman's Cross in Oldcroft.[2] In 1834 Oldcroft contained around thirty-five scattered cottages.[2] In the later 20th century several cottages were enlarged and some large houses were built, especially on the south-east side of the hamlet.[2] There was once a pub in Oldcroft called the Loyal Forester – it closed before 1893.[2] The Primitive Methodists opened a chapel at Oldcroft in 1876.[3] It closed, following storm damage, in 1929.[3] It was later reopened as an independent church, but closed in the early 1960s, and from 1975 until 1991 the building was an electrical engineer's workshop.[3] In 1958 the Assemblies of God also had a chapel at Oldcroft, demolished by 1975.[3] References1. ^Forest of Dean: Introduction, Victoria County History 2. ^1 2 3 4 Forest of Dean: Settlement, Victoria County History 3. ^1 2 3 Forest of Dean: Protestant nonconformity, Victoria County History External links{{Commons category inline|Oldcroft}}{{Gloucestershire-geo-stub}} 2 : Hamlets in Gloucestershire|Forest of Dean |
