==Popular culture==
Dymock gave its name to a school of [[Romanesque sculpture]] first described in the book ''The Dymock School of Sculpture'' by [[Eric Gethyn-Jones]] (1979). The school is noted for its use of stepped volute capitals and its stylised "tree of life" motif on tympana. A lead tablet inscribed with an elaborate 17th-century curse against a woman called Sarah Ellis was found in a home in Wilton Place. It is preserved in [[Gloucester City Council|Gloucester]]'s museum collection as "The Dymock Curse".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.deanweb.info/history7.html|title=Forest of Dean History-Witchcraft & curses in the Forest of Dean|website=deanweb.info|access-date=6 April 2021}}</ref>

It was the [[eponym]]ous home of the [[Dymock poets]] from the period 1911–1914. The homes of [[Wilfrid Wilson Gibson]], [[Lascelles Abercrombie]] and the American-born [[Robert Frost]] can still be seen there. Dymock is renowned for its wild daffodils in the spring, and these were probably the inspiration for the line "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood" in Frost's poem "[[The Road Not Taken (poem)|The Road Not Taken]]", which was a gentle satire on his great friend, and fellow Dymock Poet, [[Edward Thomas (poet)|Edward Thomas]]. In 2011 the village featured on ''[[Countryfile]]'', where the Dymock poets were looked into in more detail.
