Coscote is a hamlet in the civil parish of East Hagbourne, in the Berkshire Downs 1 mile (1.6 km) south of Didcot. The hamlet was also previously referred to as Cokelscote.[1] Coscote is now in Oxfordshire, and in 1974 was transferred from Berkshire. Currently, the Church of England church St Andrew's, Hagbourne claims the hamlet as one of its parish communities.[2]

Coscote Manor and other historical features

[edit]

Notably, the town contains the 17th-century building, Coscote Manor, which is a Grade II listed building, under the name "Coscote Manor and Yew Tree Famhouse and Attached Wall, East Hagbourne." The building was listed on 9 April 1952.[3] The manor is a timber-framed 17th-century house with fretwork bargeboards and an Ipswich window.[4] The house and surrounding hamlet were described in the 1913 travel journal Quiet roads and sleepy villages by Allan Fae.[5] As of 1923, regional historians P.H. Ditchfield and William Page note that Coscote contained the base of one of three medieval crosses in Hagbourne.[1]

Transport

[edit]

Coscote is served by 6 buses a day Monday - Saturday, by the Abingdon Bus Company's Route 94, from West Hagbourne to Didcot via Blewbury.
