Geocache Description:


The PINOT witch

Matthew Hopkins witchfinder general visited Coggeshall back in June 1645 after reports of witchcraft being performed in Coggeshall. A local woman named Mary Chamberlain was his target. She was accused of witchcraft after supposedly cursing the local landlord for running out of Pinot Grigio. The same day she cursed him, he tripped and fell down the cellar and died instantly. Matthew Hopkins made use of the local river for mary's trial. Poor Mary was tied to a chair and thrown in. If She floated then she was classed as a witch. She didnt drown and was heard screaming her innocence and vowing to haunt the town forever. She can often be seen near in Church Street clanking her empty wine bottles... have you seen her???

Flora Buttercup

This is the story of a young girl who was named Flora Buttercup, she worked in the local silk mill and it was there she caught the eye of the owners son. They began a secret affair and were very much in love. Alas their happiness was short lived as the son was arranged to be married to the daughter of a wealthy silk merchant. On the day of the wedding Flora climbed to the top of the tallest building in Coggeshall and threw herself from the top, since that day she has been seen wandering the streets with a sad face whistfully looking towards the church. Poor Flora... Keeps your eyes open you never know you may bump into her.
