FacilitiesCliffords Mesne contains a public house, the Yew Tree Inn. It is close to May Hill, which is owned by the National Trust, and to the International Centre for Birds of Prey.[2] The Village Hall was refurbished in 2013 and holds regular social and music events.[3] There is a bus service to Ross-on-Wye consisting of a single journey on Thursdays. However, daily bus services between Gloucester and Ross-on-Wye pass through Kilcot (4 km).[4] The nearest railway station is Gloucester (20 km). HeritageThe small Anglican church is dedicated to St Peter. Designed by E. S. Harris, it was built in 1882 of stone with a central bellcote, nave, chancel, south porch, and south vestry. There is contemporary stained glass dedicated to a local falconer and a memorial tablet to two local men who died on active service in the Second World War.[5] The church parish is merged with Gorsley. It shares clergy with Newent and lies in the Diocese of Gloucester.[6] An earlier stone church built in Gothic style in 1872 and extended in 1877, became the village school (now closed).[7] It now serves as a non-denominational village hall.[8] The single listed historic building in Cliffords Mesne is the outlying Ravenshill Farmhouse, north of the village, most of which dates from the late 17th and early 18th centuries.[9] The combined population of Cliffords Mesne and Gorsley was 1320 in 1876.[10] References1. ^Foley, Winifred: A Child in the Forest (London: BBC, 1974). {{ISBN|0-563-12605-1}}; ibid: Back in the Forest (London: Macdonald, 1981). {{ISBN|0-354-04354-4}}. {{coord|51|54|N|2|26|W|type:city_region:GB_source:openstreetmap(256793389)|display=title}} 2. ^Guardian obituary [https://www.theguardian.com/books/2009/apr/02/obituary-winifred-foley.
