==History== In the 1870s the settlement of Theydon Garnon was alternatively referred to by the name 'Coopersale', and was a village south-southeast from Epping, centred between Coopersale House at the south of the present settlement and approximately the location of Fiddlers Hamlet further south. This dual naming of the village and parish had been prevalent since the late 1500s. thumb|left|St Alban the Martyr's Church, Coopersale thumb|right|Parade of shops at Coopersale beside a small park thumb|right|Cricket at Coopersale In 1855 the place and parish name Coopersale was still interchangeable with Theydon Garnon, but by 1882 was subordinated as a part of Theydon Garnon civil parish with the Church of St Alban being described as a parish district church. By 1902, for civil purposes Coopersale, grouped with Coopersale Street, was part of Epping, but the ecclesiastical parish for rectorial purposes was still part of Theydon Garnon. By 1902 the village was in the Waltham Abbey county court district. Coopersale children attended school in Theydon Garnon village. The local post office was at Coopersale Street hamlet.
