Ian Wright, who was brought up the forest, will talk about the life and times of the Warren James. In the early 19th century James became a spokesman for the foresters in their struggle to protect their traditional way of life from the imposition of enclosures and industrial capitalism. The forest riots of 1831 led to Warren&#8217;s arrest and transportation. Traditional free mining and commoner rights still exist in the forest today.<\/p>\n<p>Robin Morgan, a working free miner, will talk about his life as a free miner and take groups (children included) into his coal mine at Hopewell.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to this talk:<\/strong><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2333-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/audio\/dwtf2008\/hopewell.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/audio\/dwtf2008\/hopewell.mp3\">https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/audio\/dwtf2008\/hopewell.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.brh.org.uk\/site\/wp-content\/audio\/dwtf2008\/hopewell.mp3\">Download Robin Morgan&#8217;s talk<\/a> (31 mins, 5.3mb mp3 file)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The price for entry to the mine is \u00a34 for adults and \u00a33 for those under 14 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Finally a walk through ancient woodland and pre-Roman iron ore mine workings at Puzzle Wood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Join us in the forest for a picnic and &#8220;Warren James, Free Miners And The Forest Of Dean&#8221; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[186],"tags":[294,476,400],"class_list":["post-2333","events","type-events","status-publish","hentry","category-commons-customary-rights-enclosures","tag-forest-of-dean","tag-mining","tag-warren-james"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
