Lovely collection – I am doing my family tree and one of my relations it was believed worked there. I believe it was burned down in the early 1900 due to someone smoking in bed, have you heard of this can’t find any information at the moment.
Hi Sue,
I am not aware of there being a fire at Rodborough Fort. Rodborough Manor was burnt down in 1906 as was Spilmans House in Rodborough at about the same time. I would be interested to know more if you do have further information about a fore at the Fort.
I’ve found a report of a Fire at Rodborough Fort in 1843. The Worcester Journal reported on Thursday 23 November 1843 “Rodborough Fort, near Stroud, was almost entirely consumed by fire last week”.
