A dark past
This is the upper end of Chevers Lane. Today it is a quiet and sunlit track leading quickly down Lyde Green and on to Wellow Lane. However, in 1685 this lane would have had a much more sanguine ambience; for it was here during the Monmouth Rebellion that many of the Duke's supporters were cut down and slaughtered. The locals still refer to this as Bloody Lane.
