Coggeshall 1863 Whites Directory
COGGESHALL, a small ancient town, is pleasantly situated on the north side of the river Blackwater, and on the Colchester and Braintree road, 9 miles W. by S. of Colchester, 5½ miles E. of Braintree, and 3 miles N. by W. of Kelvedon. It is partly on low ground, bordering on the river, but mostly on the acclivity, whence it was anciently called Sunnedon, or Sunny-bank. It has a fair for pedlery, &c., on Whit-Tuesday, but its market, formerly held on Thursday, is now disused. It was one of the earliest seats of the woollen manufacture in this county, and was celebrated for a kind of bays, or baize, of superior fineness, called ” Coggeshall Whites,” in making which many persons acquired large fortunes, and one of them, Mr. Thomas Guyon, died here in 1664, worth nearly £100,000. This trade declined many years ago, and was succeeded by the silk manufacture, which still gives employment to many of the inhabitants. Here are several silk velvet weaving establishments, and a large silk throwsting mill, employing 700 hands. Many females in the town are employed in the tambour lace trade. Here is also a large gelatine and isinglass manufactory, employing about 40 hands.
The parish of GREAT COGGESHALL contains 2596A. 1R. 35P. of land, and had 2469 inhabitants, in 1831; 3408 in 1841; and 3769 in 1861. With it is ecclesiastically consolidated the parish of LITTLE COGGESHALL, in Witham Hundred, on the opposite side of the river. The latter was celebrated for its abbey, and had two churches. It has only 429 souls, and 1002A. of land. Morant affirms that the town owes its existence to the abbey, which, after its foundation, ” drew round it a number of inhabitants and dependants; ” but some other antiquaries, particularly Mr. Drake, suppose it to have been of Roman origin; indeed, that gentleman argues strongly in favour of its being the Canonium of Antoninus, which others have placed at Writtle, and some at Chelmsford. Drake endeavours to corroborate his opinion that Coggeshall is the site of the Canonium, by mentioning some Roman coins and other antiquities found in the vicinity. In an arched brick vault, near the town, was found a phial with a lamp in it, covered with a Roman tile, 14 inches in diameter; and also some urns, with ashes and bones, and two sacrificing dishes of polished red earth, having at the bottom of one of them, in fair Roman letters, the inscription Coccili M.”
At Westfield, which belonged to the abbey, was found a large brazen pot, and the ploughman who found it sent for the abbot to examine it. The mouth of the pot was closed with a white substance, as hard as burnt brick; when that was removed, there was found another pot, of earth; and within it, a lesser pot, of earth, covered with a velvet-like substance, fastened with a silk lace; and within this were found whole bones, and many pieces of small bones, wrapped up in fine silk, of fresh colour. These remains, though insufficient to prove that Coggeshall was a Roman station, are admitted as evidence that it was a Roman villa.
In Edward the Confessor’s reign, the lordship of Great and Little Coggeshall was held byColo, a Saxon; and at the Domesday survey, it was held byEustace, Earl of Boulogne, whose heiress, Maud, conveyed it to the crown by her marriage with Stephen, Earl of Blois, afterwards king. In 1142, Stephen and his queen founded an ABBEY here, near the river, in Little Coggeshall, for Cistercian monks, and having dedicated it to the Virgin Mary, endowed it with this and other manors. In 1203, King John granted to the abbot and monks permission to enclose and impark their wood at Coggeshall; and in 1247, they obtained liberty of free warren from Henry III. , who also invested them with the privileges of holding a weekly market, and an eight days’ annual fair. In the reign of Edward III. , the monks founded a chantry in their church, to pray daily for the king, the queen, and their issue; in consideration of which, the king, in 1344, granted them a hogshead of red wine, to be delivered every Easter, out of the royal cellar. A second chantry was founded here, in 1407, by Joan de Bohun, Countess of Hereford, and others, who bestowed some valuable estates upon the monks for its support. On the surrender of the abbey, in 1538, its annual revenues were valued at £298 8s. In the same year, the site of the abbey, and the manor of Coggeshall and other estates, were granted to Sir Thos. Seymour, but in 1541, he exchanged them with the king for other possessions. Queen Mary, in the first year of her reign, granted the manors of Great and Little Coggeshall, Home Grange, a water mill, and the fishery of the river, to the wife of Thos. Laventhorpe, for life. Afterwards they passed, with Monk-wood and Little-wood, to Sir Henry Bromley. In 1604, they were held by Cyprian Warner and others, and afterwards by the Mayhews and Lydes. The heiress of N. Lyde, Esq. , (who also bought the dairy farms of Cardhall and Capons,) conveyedthese manors and estates, in marriage, to Richard Du Cane, Esq., whose posterity have held them to the present time. Chas. Du Cane, Esq. , of Braxted Park, is the present lord of the manors of both parishes,
but a great part of the soil belongs to the Rev. Walter T. Bullock, the Honywood family, Osgood Hanbury, G. Skingley, T. B. Western, and F. U. Pattisson, Esqrs.; and several smaller free and copyholders. Some of them have neat mansions here. All that remains ofthe Abbey is part of the church, now thatched and converted into a barn. It is in the form of a nave, chancel, and porch, and the east window is in three lights, apparently about the age of Henry III. The walls are chiefly of flint, with brick dressings. In the vicinity is a bridge of three arches, originally built by King Stephen, over a channel that was cut to convey the water of the river nearer to the abbey. OLDFIELD GRANGE, a handsome seat, about a mile N.W. of the town, is the property and residence of Osgood Hanbury, Esq. , and gives name to a manor Bourchier’s, vulgarly called Bowser’s Grange, is a farm which anciently belonged to the Bourchier family, and was afterwards held by the Smiths and Gurdons. Under the names of Coggeshall Magna-cum-Membris, and Coggeshall Parva, the two parishes form part of the Liberty of the Duchy of Lancaster. Coggeshall Gas Works were commenced in 1843, and enlarged at subsequent periods. They have now cost about £4000, raised in £5 shares. Mr. Wm. Doubleday is secretary to the Gas Co.; and Mr. Thos. Willett, manager of the works.
Great Coggeshall CHURCH (St. Peter) stands pleasantly in the highest part of the town, and is a large stone fabric, in the perpendicular style, with a square tower and five bells. It has a lofty nave and side aisles, separated by elegant light clustered pillars, supporting pointed arches. It is neatly pewed, and has a good organ. During the last ten years about £5000 has been expended in repairing it, though it is more than 20 years since a church rate was levied. It had formerly two endowed chantries and twelve obits, and on the walls are several neat monuments. One of the latter is in memory of the Hon. Robert Townsend, who served in the seven campaigns of the Duke of Marlborough. The living is a vicarage, valued in K.B. at £11. 3s. 4d. , and in 1831 at £230, and now in the incumbency of the Rev. W. J. Dampier, M.A., who has a good residence, and 16 acres of glebe. Charles Du Cane, Esq. , is the patron, but the great tithes belong to several impropriators, among whom are T.B. Western, Esq. , C. J. Skingley, Esq. , and the Rev. W. T. Bullock. The tithes are commuted for more than £700 per annum. They belonged to the abbey till 1223, when the Bishop of London appointed a vicar, and obliged the monks to give up for his maintenance part of the small tithes, and 20A. of glebe. The inhabitants of Little Coggeshall have been accommodated here with sittings, since their own two churches went to decay, viz . , the Abbey Church and St. Nicholas’s, the latter of which was built by the parishioners. Tradition says, the bells of the abbey church were sent to Kelvedon. The remains of the Abbey Church, with the ancient burial ground, have recently been presented to the vicar, in trust for the parishioners of Little Coggeshall, and efforts are now being made to restore part of the building as a place of worship. A New Cemetery has been formed adjoining Great Coggeshall Church yard, and a small chapel stands on the unconsecrated part of it.
The Rev. John Owen, D.D., a celebrated puritan and voluminous writer, was born here in 1616, and became a favourite preacher to
Cromwell. He and his father held the vicarage here, as also did James Boys, who was remarkable for the ” infinite number of sermons of his own composition which he left behind him,” and for his Exposition of the Thirty-nine Articles. Bishop Mant, another eminent divine was vicar here.
Coggeshall has a large Independent Chapel, erected in 1710, and now under theministry of the Rev. Bryan Dale. It has also a neat Baptist Chapel, erected in 1855, in lieu of an old one ; a Friend’s Meeting House, rebuilt in 1815; and a small Methodist Chapel. The town has several public schools, charities, and literary and provident institutions. Coggeshall Literary and Mechanics’ Institution was established in 1847, and has lecture and reading rooms in Church street. It has about 130 members and 600 volumes. Mr. Thos. Simpson is its secretary. Here is also a Parochial Library, under the presidency of the vicar. It has about 70 members and 500 volumes. Coggeshall and United Parishes Agricultural Society was established in 1840, and meets alternately at the White Hart and Chapel Inns. T. S. Western, Esq. is the president, andJ. C. Raven, Esq. , secretary.
HITCHAM’S CHARITY AND FREE SCHOOL. The property belonging to this charity is vested in trust with the Master and Fellows of Pembroke Hall, Cambridge. Sir Robert Hitcham, Kt. , of Ipswich, by will, in 1639, settled the castle and manors of Framlingham and Saxtead, in Suffolk, on the Master and Fellows of Pembroke Hall, in trust for the erection of a workhouse at Framlingham, ” to set the poor of that parish, and those of Debenham and Coggeshall to work ; and for the foundation of Almhouses and Schools at the same place, for the said poor, as well as for apprenticing poor children. For some years poor children and almspeople were sent from Coggeshall to Framlingham, but the distance rendering this expensive and inconvenient, law suits arose among the parties concerned ; and it was appointed by the parliament of Oliver Cromwell, in 1658, that the College should pay to the town of Coggeshall £150 per annum ; which sum should be paid to 12 trustees, in half-yearly moieties ; and be em- ployed by them in the support of a workhouse and a school ; and in bind- ing out apprentices, and in sending some of the grammar scholars to Pembroke Hall College, Cambridge. But this arrangement was altered in 1722, when the estates left by the founder were divided among the three parishes for the separate benefit of each. The estates allotted to Coggeshall comprise about 290 acres of land, called Oldforth Wood, Bradley Wood, and Newhall Wood; and they are let for about £380 per annum, subject to the yearly payment of £9 to Debenham, and £21. 12s. to Levington and Nacton. They are still vested in trust with the Master and Fellows of Pembroke College, who have hitherto paid yearly to the local trustees of Coggeshall, only about £120 for the poor, and £80 for the schoolmaster. They have, however, lately expended about £800 in repairing the buildings on the estates, and £1200 in the erection of a handsome andcommodious FREE SCHOOL at Coggeshall, in the early English style; and they are now (1861-2) applying to the Court of Chancery for a new scheme for the endowment of this school, and the application of the remainder of the income among the poor parishioners, who now receive only about £100 per annum. The Rev. W. J. Dampier, O. Hanbury, Esq. , the Rev. J. Townsend, F. U. Pattisson, Esq., and Messrs. Appleford , Sadler, Gardner, Giles, Dennis, Doubleday, Swinborne, and Westmacott,
are the present local trustees . Hitherto they have allowed the schoolmaster £80 a year for teaching reading, writing, grammar, &c. , to about 20 free scholars.
Here are also National Schools, built in 1840, and having dwellings for the teachers, and room for about 100 boys and 130 girls and infants. The British Schools were erected some years ago at the cost of £800, and have more than 200 pupils.
In 1580, Thomas Paycock left £200 to be laid out inlands, and the yearly proceeds to be divided among the poor of Great and Little Coggeshall in wood and white and red herrings. The property purchased with this legacy consisted of about 23 acres of land at Halstead, of which five acres have lately been sold for £1500, so that the yearly income has been increased from £58 to about £110, which is all distributed inmoney or clothing. Pursuant to a decree of Commissioners of Charitable Uses, in 1613, only £3 ofthe yearly income is distributed among the poor of Little Coggeshall, and the rest among the poor of Great Coggeshall. In 1588 an ancient chapel then used for the corn market, and a small garden adjoining, were conveyed to 18 trustees, for the use and benefit of the Companies of Fullers and Weavers until the purchase-money advanced by them was repaid, and afterwards for the benefit of the poor. This old Market House was pulled down in 1795, and the site of it and the garden now forms part of Market hill. Belonging to the same trust are two cottages in Back lane, let for £2. 10s., and the Clock Tower. The latter stands on land belonging to Crane’s Charity, and the two cottages were built with £50 belonging to the poor, among whom the rent is divided, with Paycock’s and other charities. Four Almshouses adjoining the above named cottages were built with charity money on land given by Joseph Greenwood, in 1795. The inmates are appointed by the overseers and churchwardens. In 1601, JOHAN SMITH left £400 to be invested in the purchase of an annuity to be applied in weekly distributions of bread among the poor of Coggeshall and Bocking. In respect of this charity the two parishes have, inequal shares,ayearly rent-charge of£15 out of therectoryofEast Tilbury. In1618, Jane Gooday left for the poor of GreatCoggeshall £30, which in 1718 was vested in a yearly rent-charge of32s. out ofahouse in East street. This annuity is applied in needful clothing for the aged poor. In 1664, Thomas Guyon left £200 for the most honest aged poor, and it was invested in a yearly rent-charge of £10. 8s. out of Windmill Fields. This is distributed in weekly doles of bread, together with a yearly rent-charge of £13, left by Sir Mark Guyon in 1678, out of Highfield Farm, now belonging to Richard M. White, Esq. In 1669, SAMUEL CRANE left, for the benefit of the poor, his house in Stoneham street. The rent, about £6, is distributed with the wood money, as also is £9. 4s. per annum, derived from the rents of three tenements in Church street, left by Anthony Hibben. The poor of Little Coggeshall have £8 a-year out of Roman’s Farm at East Haningfield, left by Ann Richardson.
