South porch of Old St Andrew's Church, Holcombe The late Lella Raymond, in her 1996 guide written for the Churches Conservation Trust, tells us that "the south porch holds fascinating evidence of antiquity. The cut stone is Doulting limestone, used for Bath, Glastonbury and Wells. The gable incorporates a Norman arch, with zigzag around it and short rolls inserted at intervals in the hollow beneath the hood. Above the arch, in place of the keystone, is a 16th-century carved angel with wings outstretched and arms folded. The chevron at the apex of the gable could have been carved from the tympanum ... The walls of the porch are blind, with plain stone benches each side, one inscribed D C 1743. The inner doorway was continuous quarter-round moulding round a four-centred arch. The door itself is a fine medieval example." Arthur Mee in 1941 remarked "It is the magnificent doorway that enchants us as we come, for it is pure and noble Norman with carved shafts and capitals, a little rope round the cushion of each capital, and deep zigzags round the arch, with a lovely stone angel above it all. She has been watching in this place for centuries. One of the old stones in the arch below her has a curious inscription upside down which nobody can understand."

Old St Andrew's Church, Holcombe In parkland a mile north of the village, the old church ceased to be used for regular worship when the new church in the village centre <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/137605">ST6749 : Holcombe St Andrew</a> was opened in 1884. It is now vested in the Churches Conservation Trust. The 14th-century west tower shows the emerging Perpendicular style and is unbuttressed. To its west can be seen one of an avenue of Lawson cypresses.

The Legion scroll Coleford Royal British Legion hall has this stone plaque on the front that records the fallen of both world wars. It seems such an obvious place to have a war memorial, yet not many do. See <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/7059804">ST6849 : Coleford Royal British Legion hall</a> for a location view.

Coleford Gospel Hall The village had held some meetings in various places before a worshipper, Harry Beer, drove a horse and cart to Devizes to purchase an old army hut. The corrugated hut became the first hall for the community by 1920. Later meetings were also held under canvas as the needs outgrew. Today this spacious modern hall welcomes all.

The old Miners Arms Naturally, a mining village would have a pub of this name; sadly, it stood almost opposite another, the Eagle, and lost that battle for customers. Today it has been redeveloped as a small group of apartments with original features and even includes a bar area.

The Eagle Inn, Coleford This pub has had to bear the brunt of the Covid problem and hence was closed for quite some time as staff were unavailable. It remains in a parlous financial state and there are worries it too will be lost - as was the Miners Arms opposite. The building is nineteenth century with some unusual additions.
