Coscote Manor and other historical features

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]
