Cookley history

Saxon estate

The name Cookley was originally Culnan Clif, a place for which there is a Saxon charter with a boundary clause. The medieval village of Cookley lay on the opposite side of river Stour to the present village, next to Caunsall. It gave its name to Cookley Wood, a former common, also known as Blakeshall Common.

Cookley Forge

The present village of Cookley developed near Cookley Forge, a water-powered finery forge on the river. The forge was initially a slitting mill established in about 1639, replacing a corn mill. It was one of the works of the Foley family’s “Ironworks in Partnership” in the 1690s.
