BOOKS
Two books have been produced on the historic market town of Coggeshall:
‘Discovering Coggeshall – Timber-framed buildings in the town centre’ is a street by street guide to the main timber-framed buildings in the town.
‘Discovering Coggeshall 2’ – This is the final volume of the Discovering Coggeshall project and has chapters on the development of the town, who lived where in 1575 and what they did for a living, the wool trade, the layout of the town and the carpentry of the buildings. 230 pages with many coloured maps, photos and illustrations
This is the website of The Coggeshall Society, which was established to stimulate an interest in conservation and planning for the parish of Coggeshall.
In 2010 the Society began a community project – Discovering Coggeshall, to establish accurate dates for the timber-framed buildings in the centre of the town in order to trace how Coggeshall developed over the centuries.
The website will be of interest to anyone interested in the history and development of Coggeshall.
