  • Name William DE COGGESHALL  [1
    • Sir William de Coggeshall, of Codham Hall, Wethersfield, Knight, was aged 18, in 1375 and died 1424. High Sheriff, 1391, he married Atiochia, daughter and heiress of Sir John hawkwood, Knight, the celebrated Captain of Condotien, whose residence was at Sible Hedinghan, Essex. Her second husband was Sir John Tyrrell, Knight, of East Horndon, Essex. Sir William, by his wife, Antiochia, had issue no sons but four daughters.

      This Sir William was living in the sixth year of the reign of Henry V, as the lease of his Manor of Codham Hall, Wethersfield, is tested at Coggeshall. At his death, his extensive estates in Essex were divided among his daughters, in the absence of male heirs. The family of Coggeshall became proprietors of Codham Hall in the reign of King Edward, 1272, though the manor had previously been occupied by the de Codhams since shortly after the Conquest. As the Coggeshalls were proprietors of various estates from the twelfth century on, and as thy served in many official capacities, references to them are frequent. The records of Heralds' College show that several of the name were sheriffs of Hertfordshire and Essex, naming the following as having filled the office; John de Coggeshall, from 1334 to 1353 inclusive; Sir William Knt., 1391; Thomas, 1393; William 1404; Sir William Knt., 1411.
