Cliffords Mesne

Cliffords Mesne listenⓘ is an English village in Gloucestershire, two miles (3.2 km) south-west of the town of Newent.

It became the home of the autobiographical author Winifred Foley from the mid-1970s, after the success of her first book of Gloucestershire reminiscences, A Child in the Forest.

The village is close to May Hill, which is owned by the National Trust, and to the International Centre for Birds of Prey.

[6] An earlier stone church built in Gothic style in 1872 and extended in 1877, became the village school, which is now closed.

[8] The single listed historic building in Cliffords Mesne is the outlying Ravenshill Farmhouse, north of the village.
