In response to increasing concerns around the impact of COVID-19 we have made the decision to cancel all events until further notice. 

Summer Lunch 11th July 2020

Due to the restrictions imposed by lockdown we are asking everyone to organise their own Summer Lunch on Saturday 11th July. This can be as a family or with one other family in their garden. Please take a photograph and send it to michaelbowes3@gmail.com so we can share each event with members.

Photographs of each lunch will be posted on this website. (Click on The Coggeshall Society menu above)

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.
