Make the most of your outdoor space this summer.

Summer is just around the corner, and that is the time when most of us want to make the best use of our outdoor space. With a little shelter, some friends and a barbecue, the garden is definitely the place to be on the long evenings ahead.

This customer wanted something a little out of the ordinary to make their patio space perfect, so we came up with this western red cedar outbuilding with two open sides, some built in seating and a turf living roof to finish it off.

This preserves the feeling of being outdoors while providing a trap for the last of the warmth for the day. If you would like to get the best use from your garden or patio area, just give us a call and we will measure you up for a bespoke building to your own specification. Don't even worry if you haven't got a patio either, our expert team can lay you one in your choice of natural stone or other materials in time for the good weather.

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.
