Description Incorrect Description? Tell Us!Cople is a village in the English county of Bedfordshire. Cople derived from the phrase Cock Pool which was a place where chickens were kept and was mentioned in the Domesday Book.

The centre of Cople is dominated by the All Saints Church which was originally built soon after 1087 by the De Beauchamp family and later became part of Chicksands Priory. The list of Vicars maintained by the church dates back to 1237. All Saints Church was rebuilt in the 15th century, although parts of it date from a little earlier, by the families who owned the local manors. In the first part of the 16th century the church were extended.

At the junction with the A603, (Bedford to Sandy) is the Toll House. This house dates from around 1770 and was used to collect tolls from the road users. This is one of only two toll houses that still exists in Bedfordshire.

Cople House, a large manor house, was at southern end of the village and was destroyed in a fire in 1971. In 1976 twenty four large homes were built on the site and renamed Woodlands Close. The original coach house survived the fire and has been restored and converted into three houses.
