Cotesbach Educational Trust

Learn more about life in Cotesbach through the centuries, a village at the crossing point of multiple physical connections throughout time which tells a story of our wider social, cultural, environmental, religious and political heritage. You, too, can be drawn into the story.
Don’t miss our special exhibition “POSTED 1824: RECEIVED 2024” about the 19th Century communications revolution which transformed the way people once connected with each other. Also, how today’s technology enables us to trace new routes into the past, to discover networks created by people living in Cotesbach 200 years ago, and reassess the legacy of their stories.
