Copford Place

Copford Place is a historic grade II listed building located in Copford, Essex, England, dating back to the 17th or 18th century. This two-storey timber-framed structure has a rich history, having served various roles including a prisoner of war camp during World War II and later as a retirement home for notable figures like painter Tirzah Garwood. The building features distinctive architectural elements such as a hipped roof with dormers and sash windows. Although it was converted into flats in 1998, it has faced challenges, including arson in 2024, leading to its current state of disrepair. Plans for redevelopment are underway, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring the historical and architectural significance of the area.
