Notes:

?u?Coxford - Norfolk County, England?/u?

George and Mary Browne, friends (of Sylvianne Penner) from York, Yorkshire, England ran across a Coxford sign while visiting friends and kindly sent these pictures and ordnance survey map and did some research on the history of Coxford.

The nearest town of any size is Fakenham (52 degrees 50'n, 0' 51'E) about eight (8) miles from Coxford. There is a Coxford heath (see map) that is wet and partly wooded, unusual for the area. There was a Coxford Priory in the Middle Ages and the nearby village of Rudham benefited from the Market and Fair granted to the Priory. A lot of the stone from the ruins of the Priory were used in the foundation of a house called Raynham, built in the 1620's for Sir Roger Townsend. To quote from a Reference Library book: "The Plundering of Coxford for building stone created one of the most attractive monastic sites in Norfolk. There is much less masonry work than at most other abbeys, but its atmosphere of space and isolation is unique. Founded about 1140, dissolved in 1536 to become the property of the Duke of Norfolk and eventually passed on to the Townsends in 1597".

The ordnance map was obtained from the farmer who now owns this property. Very little of the Abby ruins remain. Cosford, according to the farmer consists of his farm and farmhouse, plus three other cottages. As George states, that's Coxford. not much nightlife I'm afraid.

Note: on the map of England, the names of to towns, Blakeney and Pakenham that are in close proximity to Coxford and undoubtedly, these names were transplanted to Canada to locales where the Coxfords settled.

?u?History of the Coxford Name
?/u?
These notes are according to Fred Sadler, a historian of Norfolk, England and rewritten by Sylvianne Penner of Calgary, AB

1066: Norman Invasion

1085: Stonework on St. Mary's (see photos) at East Rudham began.

1135-1154: Coxford Priory founded (Old Ruins) by William Cheney (a Norman) during Stephen's
Reign (originally at East Rudham). It was a Augustine Priory and was relocated in 1216.

1140: Normans came to this area, prior to this time the Saxon's constructed the Churches using flint a wedging between the stones. The Normans who brought their own stone masons used a cement mortar between stones so that many of these structures are still standing and in use.

?u?"Cokesford"

?/u?This is a Norman name which is possibly the origin of the name Coxford.
Cokes were Norman Landowners.
Ford meaning where there is no bridge, a shallow spot in the river.
Coxford (Cokesford) meaning landowners at the ford in the river. They were a higher class of society, not in the working class and may have come from Brittany.
Cokesford may have been spelled Cotesford. at one time.

1216: The Monks moved their headquarters from St. Mary's to Coxford Priory (Coxford Abby ruins) at the beginning of Henry III's Reign.

1301: Vicar of Rudham was John de Titeshale, Prior and Convent of Cokesford.

1305: Vicar of West Rudham was William Rademelde, Prior and Covent of Cokesford.
1534 John de Coxford, alias Mathew, was the last Prior.

1537 The Abby was dissolved
The Earl of Lester (who was a Coke, landowner) started the farm course rotary system of farming, soon after.

1623: Henry VIII ordered the absolution of Catholic Monasteries. Three churches, the Coxford Abby and two others were ordered destroyed. About the same time Black Death wiped out the Village of Sengham, which surrounded Coxford Abby. Sengham means home of Seng (Saxon). About 800-1000 survivors of the Black Death left Sengham and established Gates End about one mile away.
Gates End or perhaps Gates Hill is what is know at Tattersett today.
The Black Day is reported to have been brought to the area by a Tax Collector from London.

1719: A small pot of Roman coins was found in the Coxford Abby ruins in an underground passage, indicating that Romans were in this area at one time.

?u?Some Well Know People from this Area:?/u?

Sir Robert Walpole (1676-1745) He was the Prime Minister for King George I and King George II. His original home is in the area.
Earl of Orford (a Walpole) He was a Prince of England.
Many of these Walpoles known at the Earls of Orford are buried in St. Martin of Tours Church, at Houghton.

?u?The Coxford Group of churches:

David McGill, son of John McGill & Jane McCann.

The house David McGill lived in is still standing, all enclosed, photocopy, it is opposite the building which was the General Store for many years, on the main street of Rosebank, now called Blakeney.

John Coxford: Occupation: stone mason
John died in a rock slide while working on the Rideau Canal. John may have also used the name James. The name John Coxford appears on his son (James) marriage certificate. I have not been able to determine which ship and exactly when the Coxfords came to Canada, but it is know that Mary was born after they arrived, so must of been in 1837-1838. John worked as a stone mason on the Rideau Canal and according to oral stories he was killed in a Rock Fall in the 1840's. There were two rock falls, the question is which one?

(Medical):There may be some historical confussion in that the construction of the Rideau Canal was between 1826-1832, although there was probably construction for years afterward, such as Lockmaster houses . As the workforce became available after completion of the Canal the stone houses of the area were built from 1834 on. It would seem more likely that John Coxford was killed in a quarry site or construction site post Rideau Canal construction.

On the marriage Certificate of her son James, Esthers name is Esther Hall Coxford. Hence the confusion as to which is the correct spelling of her last name. I have not been able to find her final resting place. We know that she resided somewhere near Ottawa. She may have lived in Nepean, as it is next to Ottawa were Halls and Hulls resided at this time.
