TL8422 : The Grange Barn

taken 3 years ago, near to Coggeshall, Essex, England

The Grange Barn
The Grange Barn
The great barn at Coggeshall stands as a lasting reminder of the once powerful Abbey; its pillars soaring to support a vast roof which spans the centuries.
It was built to accommodate the tithes of the Abbey - its size baring witness to its wealth.
This is one of the largest building of its kind in Europe, having stood here since the early 13th Century.
Passed by on the Essex Way, and run by the National Trust.
Essex Way

One of the first county long distance footpath devised, tracing its history back to 1971.
It was also the first to make an appearance within the county borders of Essex.
The 81 mile trail starts outside the underground station in Epping, passing through Chipping Ongar, Pleshey, White Notley, Coggeshall, Great Horkesley, Dedham and Manningtree to the High Lighthouse in Harwich. It runs through the entire county in a rough south west to north east line.
