Coggeshall And The Paycocke House, 2

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
