Men's Night - tomorrow 15th January

14/1/2026

 
​The next Men's Night will be held in the Reading Room this Thursday from 7pm to 9pm.

The format will be the same as before, drop in anytime from 7pm, bring along your own beverage of choice, it's all very informal.

The Reading Room has glasses so no need to bring anything else.

Look forward to seeing you on Thursday.

Wednesday Coffee - Open House - Drop In Coffee

13/1/2026

 
Change of Venue  14th January at Hollycroft and 21st January at Foxley.
 
Reading Room.  As there will be renovation works in the Reading Room starting in the gents’ toilets next Tuesday 13th January and expected to last two weeks,  it has been suggested that we do not use the Reading Room for Wednesday Drop In Coffee.  
 
There will still be Coffee on Wednesday but on 14th at Hollycroft (next to Old School) and on 21st at Foxley (pink house at the bottom of the village).  We look forward to seeing you at 10.30 on Wednesday as usual.

Village Group Photo

12/1/2026

 
Many thanks for the responses about the village photo, a number of you recalled it was from the millennium, after a lunch in the barn.

Another copy came to light with this written on the back:

K Bailey Photographer
Great Coxwell Millennium Celebration
June 24th 2000 (which was a cold Saturday according to some)

There are some faces I recognise, but I'll try to get more names - anyone you recognise please email [email protected] with who they are and where they are in the photo.

Many thanks,

Domesday 900 (+ 40)

7/1/2026

 
Back in 1986 there was a project to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the Domesday Book, the previous post with the photo had me wondering whether the photo was from 1986.

Anyway I tracked down the entry for Great Coxwell from the national archives and you can review it here:

https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ukgwa/20120318181300/http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/domesday/dblock/GB-424000-192000

Quite an interesting read and certainly of it's time.
