Oldcroft is a hamlet in Gloucestershire, England. The village of Yorkley is to the northwest, and the hamlet of Viney Hill is to the northeast.
Oldcroft is situated near the "Dean road", a medieval route that ran between Lydney and Mitcheldean. [1] In the 17th century there were cabin dwellings in Oldcroft. [2] Much of the early settlement was by squatters, and in 1782 there were thirteen cottages recorded at Deadman's Cross in Oldcroft. [2] In 1834 Oldcroft contained around thirty-five scattered cottages. [2] In the later 20th century several cottages were enlarged and some large houses were built, especially on the south-east side of the hamlet. [2] There was once a pub in Oldcroft called the Loyal Forester – it closed before 1893. [2]
The Primitive Methodists opened a chapel at Oldcroft in 1876. [3] It closed, following storm damage, in 1929. [3] It was later reopened as an independent church, but closed in the early 1960s, and from 1975 until 1991 the building was an electrical engineer's workshop. [3] In 1958 the Assemblies of God also had a chapel at Oldcroft, demolished by 1975. [3]
