Kempley

Kempley is a village and civil parish in the Forest of Dean district of Gloucestershire, England, close to the border with Herefordshire. It lies 17 miles (27 km) northwest of Gloucester and 17 miles (27 km) of Hereford. The nearest market towns of Newent and Ledbury are 5 miles (8.0 km) and 8 miles (13 km) away respectively. The village maintains the Kempley Tardis (a redundant telephone box) - a National Lottery funded project supported by English Heritage. The project, which is run by the Friends of Kempley Churches, aims to archive and document the entire social, economic and cultural history of the village. In March 1994 fields near the village were found to contain the remains of two of the victims of serial killer Fred West. The small parish (280 residents) has two notable churches, one dedicated to St Mary and another to St Edward the Confessor.
