Geography

History
[edit] |
In 845 it was known as Concilium, in 1406 as Conchy-les-Waben and by 1608 as Conchie.
Conchil was listed among the possessions of the abbey of Saint Riquier in the 9th century. A house known as ’’’Temple-lez-Waben’’’ was a commandery of the Templars. In 1307, two Templars from here (Raoul Monteswis and Eudes of Écuires) were captured and burnt at the stake at nearby Montreuil.
