Talk:History of Colchester

message: Suggested that separate articles be created for:
*Roman Colchester
*Colchester churches
*Colchester Garrison (article created Apr 16)
This would provide an opportunity for developing in-depth articles on these subjects. Main History of Colchester article would reference these.

replies: text: I certainly agree with the churches being split off. As it stands, this section is more of an architectural overview and doesn't really fit with a history page. Walgamanus 00:19, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have split off the churches section to Colchester churches and hopefully this new article can be expanded. Davidbober 00:35, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Where did the name Colchester come from?  It seems to be derived from the Latin castrum as in Chester, but was it ever given such a name in Roman times?  When did it go from Colonia Claudia Victricensis to Colchester?  Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 18:18, 15 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The Col part of Colchester, as with the name of the river Colne is derived from Latin Colonia - c.f. the origins of the name of Cologne in Germany, which also derives from Colonia. Razumukhin (talk) 17:17, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

message: Richard III had visited the town several times, as a teenager in 1427 and again in 1467/68.
:Richard III lived from 1452-1485. So the first date must be wrong. Valetude (talk) 03:27, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
