Staunton by Coleford All Saints

 

The Parish

The parish of Staunton, given the suffix "by Coleford" to distinguish it from the other Gloucestershire Staunton which is close to Newent, lies in the extreme west of Gloucestershire, indeed it forms not only part of the border with neighbouring Monmouthshire but also with Herefordshire. Staunton lies in the Forest of Dean and is located about 3 miles east of the town of Monmouth. Staunton is a small and compact village sitting astride the A4136 road which connects Monmouth with Gloucester. Staunton parish is bordered to the west and north by the deeply incised meanders of the River Wye which also forms the border of England and Wales. The local economy would have been mixed, pastoral farming would have predominated but there were substantial quarrying and mining activities in the area, too. Today the area is much used for outdoor activities, the local forests providing many routes for trails for both walkers and offroad cyclists, the nearby "Rocking Stone" often a focal point for these activities. Staunton is drained by small tributaries of the Wye to the southwest which then flows to meet the Bristol Channel through the port of Chepstow. Staunton is sited at around 200 metres above the sea and sits on a ridge separating the Wye from the heart of the Forest of Dean, local heights reach almost to 300 metres whilst the Wye itself is less than 20 metres above the sea, a parish with deep incisions. Staunton parish was small for the Forest area, being more typically sized for an East Gloucestershire parish at around 1,500 acres - it would have supported a population of just under 200 parishioners. In Domesday times Staunton was held by King William, directly, its assets were not specifically detailed but it was clearly a very small place at that time.


The Church

All Saints' church sits at the heart of Staunton on the northern side of the A4136 as it passes through the village. The church's cruciform structure with central tower immediately informs of its early origins. The tower shows the characteristic Norman style windows albeit with an embattlemented top from the Perpendicular era. This style was predominant in the 11th & 12th century although Pevsner does not speculate on which century All Saints pertains. Much else in the church is in the early English Gothic style of the 13th century although, once again, there are many later features overlaid from the Perpendicular (15th century) era. In common with most churches All Saints was restored by the Victorians in this case in the 1870s. The church sits in an elevated position above the A4136 protected by a low local stone wall, the site is fairly open with few restrictions on photographic angles.
