Loxwood Village Stores

The Loxwood village stores in the east of this square were originally the Combination Stores, established by the Society of Dependents ('Cokelers'), a religious movement founded by John Sirgood. Loxwood and the surrounding area once supported a significant population of Dependents, after Sirgood moved here from Kennington in south London in 1850. The shops are now privately owned and only a handful of Cokelers remain in the area.
