1 Day as a Tourist in Coggeshall, Essex | UK Travel Vlog 

Really enjoyed that - well done. I live in Coggeshall and have filmed there many times myself. Keep up the good work.

No idea how many times I took the 70 bus as a commuter through Coggeshall 1976/80, or wondered around the town on a Sunday visit back 47+ years ago. I think back then there was not a cafe in sight in the town, and only pubs on restricted hours. On a Sunday it seemed to be totally dead., with the residents hiding. I don't think there was a museum back then, and I think I actually saw that Coggeshall Post Office sign in place on the Post Office back then too. It was a dustbowl of a town/village as there was dust and dirt on the pavement and up against the old buildings everywhere from the constant traffic. The through traffic was, and probably still is, terrible. Back then only some of the buildings had been modernized, and it was actually a cheaper place to buy period property than Braintree, Dunmow or Braintree etc. back then, because of the constant traffic. Paycockes was always closed. Tried many times to see inside and I think it may have been privately owned back then? I was very surprised to hear the locals and the NT guide pronounce it as Paycockes as "PayCOCKs", as we were always firmly told by locals to pronounce without the "K" as "Paycoes". Personally convinced that Coggeshall goes back to, at least, Roman times being situated on a junction on Stane Street. You can also see that at least the Parish church has Roman tegulae roof tiles in its masonry, perhaps reused from a neighboring ruin? ! Had little/no idea of almost everything you saw and discovered about Coggeshall Adam! You found so many beautiful places and people. Totally, totally changed my impressions of a dirty boring over trafficked place! Thank you Adam. Brilliant! Well done! For me the best of your videos so far. I have seen so far, but why did you not sample a cafe or a pub there? Going to look and see if you have done Dunmow now...

Great video Adam! I drive around Coggeshall on the A120 bypass, so interesting to see more about the place.

Makes you realise how lucky we are to live here!

Lovely to see your tour. The Coggeshall Scarecrow Trail is back 27th May to 4th June - feel free to come back and have a good look at the 2023 Scarecrows!

Loving your videos' Adam, your friendly style is perfect you have gift in the way you engage with people. Thanks for the videos please keep the coming.

Looks like a nice little place to visit. Great video - very informative, nicely filmed and love the energy of your presenting style.

I was lucky enough to visit in 1988 the church, Abby, grange hall and woolpack bring back great memories stay with some locals wonderful people great town ❤️.

This was brilliant! My sister is going to Coggeshall soon and asked me if I wanted to go so I thought I'd do a bit of research. I came across this video and really enjoyed it. It's very entertaining. I am forwarding it to my friends. You have another subscriber, Adam. Great work! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

Grateful to have visited a few times. Lovely place. The Coggeshalls left in 1632 when they emigrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony on the ship the Lyon. They were thrown out of Boston because of the Antinomy Controversy and bought Aquidneck Island from the Narraganset Indians and founded Rhode Island. The famous theologian John Owen (Chaplain to Oliver Cromwell) was pastor of the Anglican church in Coggeshall.

awesome vid mate. keep growing 👍

What a find and so much history especially St Nicholas Chapel and Coggeshall Abbey. Thanks for this, Adam...another away day for me ☺️ btw I remember Grange Hill 🙃 Love the Clockmakers house. Coggeshall looks so picturesque 🌻✨☀️🕊️Great video.

My Daughter lives there in Stoneham street.Had a few beers in the woolpack

I’ve heard lots of silly stories about people from Coggeshall from years ago. One is that they built a wall with grass cuttings around the village to keep the plague out. And that one guy tried to rake the moon out of the river. It’s also supposed to be haunted because of the ley lines.

Watched this earlier, enjoyed the walk around.. I live not far away so today I am off to have a look around on my Indian Scout, maybe walk a little :) Thanks for sharing..

eyyy i been waiting for this 😂

Brilliant mate xx

Good video. Well done. 👍 Shared to local FB group.

I ended up driving through there on Sunday and I saw the brick bridge with the swans it was a beautiful sunny day a lady was feeding them with her little girl and it reminded me of a beautiful painting …Roy looked about 50 ! Love your videos keep it up 👍🏻

I used to live there. Went to school there.

Thank you very much for this tour. My ancestors are from Coggeshall.

My school had a punishment book and I'm in it. Headmaster was a tyrant! That was in Strood, Kent.

Nice video. Liked it...

Shame we missed you! Bee’s Boutique Coggeshall 💕

Fun and interesting video...just a quick correction.. Cistercian has a 'sh' in the middle too, not Cist-eer-ian, Cist-ersh-an!

why do people mispronounce our name?

You didn't ask the locals about all the murders there in the 1980s and other assorted shenanigans.
