==History==
In the village of Dymock there are several interesting buildings which include [[cruck]] beam cottages; "The White House", which was the birthplace of [[John Kyrle]], the "Man of Ross", in 1637; Ann Cam School of 1825 and [[St Mary's Church, Dymock|St Mary's Church]], a patchwork history in brick and stone with Anglo-Norman origins, and is a [[Grade I listed]] building.<ref name=NHLE>{{National Heritage List for England|num=1303073|desc=Church of St Mary|access-date=23 August 2024}}</ref> Nearby stands the only remaining village pub, which was purchased by Parish Council to help preserve a thriving village. The pub is rented and run by a landlord and supported by a local fundraising and social committee "Friends of the Beauchamp Arms" (FOBA). A former pub, The Crown, closed in 1993.<ref>{{cite web|title=Lost Pubs Project: The Crown, Dymock|url=https://www.closedpubs.co.uk/gloucestershire/dymock_crown.html|access-date=23 August 2024}}</ref>

Dymock was served by the [[Hereford & Gloucester Canal]], opened in 1845; this closed in 1881 and the section between [[Ledbury]] and [[Gloucester]] converted into [[Ledbury and Gloucester Railway|a railway line]], a branch line of the [[Great Western Railway]], though a stretch between Dymock and [[Newent]] was by-passed as it was decided not to take the line through the 2,192 yard [[Oxenhall Tunnel]]. [[Dymock railway station]] was on this line which closed in 1959, but the canal (including the tunnel), is now being restored.

Dymock is the ancestral home of the [[Dymoke]] family who are the [[Queen's Champion|Royal Champions]] of England. It is thought that the Dymokes first lived at Knight's Green, an area just outside the village of Dymock.
