1986 COPFORD TODAY PART TWO
Adjoining the church is the Copford Cricket club field and pavillion with one of the oldest Oak trees still standing defiantly on the side of the pitch. This must be one of the most beautiful settings in Essex for a cricket ground. The green is the centre of the village and the old original cottages still surround it and are well preserved. The Alma pub ia a friendly meting place of the locals and runs a successful social clubs. The Green farm is still maintained and run by the Folkard family who have been there for four generations. One of the many pleasures in living in Copford is the easy access to the surrounding countryside by using one of the many footpaths.Peace and tranquility reigns in his lovely corner of Essex.
