Uneven ground on Selsley Common The humpy, bumpy nature of the ground in this area of Selsey Common is because there was once a fairly large Cotswold stone (oolitic limestone) quarry here.  The quarry was already disused by 1888, as indicated on maps of that date.

Frogmarsh Mill The mill was already in use by 1658 and continued producing cloth until mid 1800s.  The buildings date from the 19th Century. The Woodchester area  was ideal for cloth manufacture because of deep valleys and rapid streams in this part of the Cotswolds.
