|
|
|
Coggeshall,
a small attractive town once based on trade in wool and cloth,
Timber-framed houses and the large 15th century church of
St. Peter-ad-Vincula can be seen.
The wool
trade was started by monks in the 12th Century, and the remains
of the abbey, a chapel and the Grange barn can still be seen.
The town was once famous for its lace.
The BBC's
Lovejoy series was filmed in the area
It is
said that ley lines - energy lines linked to the earth's magnetic
field - actually cross in Coggeshall, creating friction, and
strange events (!)
