Cogges history
Cogges manor is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and was for many years held by the De Grey family. It passed through inheritance to Francis Lovell, 1st Viscount Lovell who was attainted in 1485, and the manor seized by the Crown. In 1543, it passed to Sir Thomas Pope, founder of Trinity College, Oxford. After the Civil War, the estate was granted to Sir Francis Henry Lee of Ditchley, who sold it to the Blake family.
Parish church
St. Mary’s parish church had been established by the second half of the 11th century. The walls of the nave are Romanesque and may be either late Saxon or early Norman. The south aisle was added late in the 12th century and the chancel was enlarged in the middle of the 13th Century. The Decorated Gothic north aisle and adjoining bell tower were built in about 1350. The windows of the north chapel were decorated with stained glass depicting the heraldry of the de Grey family.
Benedictine priory
A priory of the Benedictine Abbey of Fécamp was founded at Cogges in 1103. In 1441 Henry VI seized the priory and its estates and gave them to Eton College. The priory fell into disrepair but the remains of a 13th-century building have survived in an altered form. Early in the 17th century a wing was added to the surviving building to make it a farmhouse.
Manor Farm
Cogges Manor Farm House is a 16th- and 17th-century house built around the remains of one wing of a manor house that originated in the 12th century. Oxfordshire County Council bought the house and converted it into a museum in 1974.
