Foresters

Heritage Open Day: Discover what is believed to be the oldest building in Harwich. The building is a timber-framed and plastered house which was built circa 1450. It is thought to be the oldest house in Harwich and was 'Foresters Arms' public house from 1800 to 1940 when it fell victim to an incendiary bomb during WWII. It stood derelict for nine years when it was bought and lovingly restored by the late Harwich Society President, Mrs. Winifred Cooper and her husband. Upon her death in 1999, Mrs. Cooper left the Foresters to the Harwich Society, so that it could be used as the headquarters and resource centre for the Society.
