Coggeshall

We went to Coggeshall to visit Paycocke's House and Garden, which National Trust preserves. This is a merchant's wealthy house, built around 1500 for Thomas Paycocke.


Stepped inside, I took a deep breath of admiration. It was massive, characterful and so beautiful. I love to see this kind of houses! It's very English!




The cottage garden is also beautiful. We relaxed in a fresh open space for a while.




Also we explored Coggeshall. I saw many colourful buildings and local shops. It's quite lovely town.






We accidentally found Coggeshall Museum. It displayed many old pictures and local historical things. We found a school's punishment book. It was an interesting to read why a boy/girl was punished and how many times they were caned at school:) And also this museum's opening time is only every Sunday (2:15pm-4:45pm) and Bank Holiday Mondays (2:15pm-4:45pm). So we were lucky to have an opportunity to see it:)
