Continuing our visit to the Paycocke House in Coggeshall, Essex...
|
More of Eileen Power's travels and studies; she did "commit matrimony" later on |
|
No matter how small, every National Trust house we have visited (since 2009) has had a reception and membership office, a gift shop, a gardening shop, a plant shop, a tea shop, a garden, a lawn, chairs, and croquet; some have more, but the Paycocke House had at least all these |
|
Garden shop |
|
Garden, lawn chairs, and croquet set |
|
The white extension is actually older than the House, dating from the early 1400s; it was the original butchery |
|
Now mostly interpretive exhibits about the Medieval wool industry |
|
And one very interesting painting |
|
Pretty little town, Coggeshall |
|
The "talking bench," on main street is a hoot; press the button and it gives you a 360 degree narration of the town center; the other button, more about Essex county |
