Foscombe House
View north-west from the bridleway. Thomas Fulljames (1808-74), was a nephew of the Gloucester land surveyor of the same name. A trained architect, he was well-connected with the local gentry and clergy. He established a practice in Gloucester in 1830, was appointed County Surveyor in 1831 and Diocesan Surveyor in 1832. He later formed Fulljames & Waller in partnership with one of his former pupils and the firm worked for many years on public buildings, church buildings and later on private houses. In 1866, they jointly designed Foscombe House as a retirement home for Fulljames. A superb example of the Victorian Gothic Revival style applied to a private house.

Foscombe, near Ashleworth
Described by Pevsner at 'High Victorian fastasy' Foscombe was built in 1866-7 by Thomas Fulljames as his retirement home. Here the house is viewed from the bridleway to the south-east. In the late 1970s and early 1980s this was the home of Rolling Stone's Charlie Watts.

The Whitmore Way at Foscombe Hill
View south overlooking what is now a very sparse orchard at the bottom of the hill. In 2009, this public footpath is in a terrible state, completely overgrown with hawthorn scrub and brambles, which was duly reported to Gloucester CC.
