The "old hospital" at Upper High Street, now a private house, was founded early in the 1900's by Bertha, Lady Bledisloe of Lydney Park and later developed into the Lydney and District Hospital at Gove Road, Lydney. The Aylburton Memorial Hall commemorates the village's fallen in two World Wars and was completed in 1922.
