Welcome to Cecile Hunt - History Researcher

For a fascinating look into local Forest of Dean history, contact Cecile Hunt - History Researcher

The Forest of Dean is a fascinating area, rich in history, with mining and the ancient Roman presence. But what was going on where you live, before you lived there?

Why were the buildings built where they were? What made them the way they are? What made us the way we are?

These are questions that sooner or later we all want answered, and Cecile Hunt is the local historian to answer them for you.


You don’t have to own a stately home to have its history researched. Even a modest house can have a fascinating past! 

Cecile’s specialised area is the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. She has written articles for journals and magazines. She is also treasurer of the Forest of Dean Local History Society, which has members worldwide.

Know your history – make your historic building more interesting!

Do you live or work in a historic building? If you own a public house, hotel or other historic building, knowing the building’s history adds interest and character to your premises – and impresses guests!
