A Melancholy Event inspired by historic fatal duel in Stroud

STROUD writer Dan Glaister has released a new novel inspired by the bizarre true story of a fatal duel that took place in Stroud more than 200 years ago. The incident, which happened on August 14, 1807, is believed to be one of the last fatal duels that took place in the UK. When Dan moved into a very old house in the Five Valleys, he found a box full of sheets of parchment dating back hundred of years. Among the papers was a hand-written account of the duel that took place in a field across the valley. Taking the box of papers as a starting point for his debut novel, Dan has created an eerie and macabre tale of obsession.

SIOBHAN BAILLIE: Mortgage scheme will address inequality

Siobhan Baillie The Stroud MP s weekly column. The Prime Minister came to Stroud on Monday to launch the Government’s Mortgage Guarantee Scheme that will allow home buyers to get on the property ladder with only a 5 per cent deposit. Boris spent several hours at the Great Oldbury housing development in Stonehouse talking with homeowners and construction workers and he was on great form. The idea of the scheme is for the government to offer lenders the guarantee they need to provide mortgages that cover the other 95 per cent, subject to the usual affordability checks. The scheme is available lenders such as Lloyds, Santander, Barclays, HSBC and NatWest. Virgin Money will also join the scheme next month.
