A History of the Cokelers

Beschreibung

A history of a Christian sect called The Dependant Brethren, known locally as Cokelers, founded in 1850 by preacher John Sirgood in Loxwood and other villages on the Sussex-Surrey borders. Larger communities set up "Combination Stores" selling absolutely everything, and spent long hours in their small chapels. The book includes detailed descriptions of each community together with many family histories and stories. As well as Loxwood, there were communities in Shamley Green, Warnham, Northchapel, South Norwood, Chichester and Hove until the 1970s.
