Bison Roller Doors
I bumped into Mark on the industrial estate where he works and I have a storage unit. It was a nice sunny day so we sat in the sun chatting about this and that. Naturally, business cards changed hands and a week or so later, I had a call from Mark asking me to visit and talk over the creation of a web site for his business.That was in 2017 and ever since I have been doing all the content management, regular updates and some site photography for Bison.
Abenhall is a tiny, ancient village in a secluded quiet valley near Mitcheldean. The parish includes the settlement of Plump Hill, on the Mitcheldean to Cinderford Road as it climbs into the high Forest.
Once part of the Westbury Hundred (which was known as Dene at the time of the 1086 Doomsday book) Abenhall is on the Flaxley to Mitcheldean Road. Originally a mining and iron making centre, it is notable for its 14th century Church of St Michael, which is built of local red sandstone and has excellent contemporary carvings relating to the Forest of Dean's industries. These include a shield bearing the arms of the Freeminers on the west wall and the fabulous mid -15th century octagonal font, that has tools of miners and metalworkers incised on its St Michaels at Abenhall sides.
St. Michael's Church - originally built as a chapel of ease, the church was expanded in the 14th century to include nave, south aisle and tower. The arms of the Freeminers can be seen on the south side of the tower and on the 18th century font. St. Michael's Church - Abenhall is 1.5 km south of Mitcheldean and is set in beautiful surroundings on the edge of the Forest. Old Parish baptism, marriage and burial registers, from 1596, are stored at the Gloucestershire Record Office.

Image Gallery Changes
The gallery page has got some key new features that we have been working on for a while. As well as the familiar category drop down selection, there is now a search function that looks for your word or phrase in the topic, image file name and main detail text. This should help visitors find just the image or group of images that they are looking for. Once they have found them, there is more in store. Opening the image into its full sized viewer now gives the opportunity to toggle back and forth between the picture and the words. This is automatically picked up if any text has been entered and a link is placed below the image alongside its caption. You can also now assign a status to each image and have that displayed as a small graphic below the thumbnailAbercraf is well known for these attractions: Waterfalls caves and close by the National Red Kite Centre.
