In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Lea Bailey like this:
LEA-BAILEY, a tything in Newland parish, Gloucester; near the river Wye, 4 miles SE of Monmouth. Acres, 54. Pop., 231. Houses, 43.
The location shown is that labelled "Lea Bailey" on modern and our historic maps, despite not matching the descriptive gazetteers.
