Over two nights, Monday 12th June and Tuesday 13th June the History Group organised walks around Coxhoe for the Scout and Beaver groups as they work towards earning badges.
The Scouts
Monday evenings walk, Coxhoe’s Farming History was preceded by a powerpoint presentation outlining the farming history of Coxhoe. The walk included local landmarks dating from the Iron Age to modern times and took in the site of the roundhouse discovered at West House and the Medieval Village near the site of Coxhoe Hall.
The Beavers
Tuesday evening was a short walk covering the Front street area of Coxhoe, explaining the history and heritage of the buildings and landmarks and how they have changed over time.
Lovely walks held in lovely weather and hopefully more knowledge of the place in which we live has been extended.
