Cochrane Park

Cochrane Park, located at Newcastle upon Tyne, England, is the principal competitive venue for football, rugby and cricket at Newcastle University. It is named after Sir Cecil Cochrane who donated 20 acres of land to the university. It has three county standard football pitches, three county standard rugby pitches, a cricket square, a lacrosse pitch and five tennis courts. The site also offers a pavilion with team changing facilities, function suite and bar facilities. Newcastle University was an official Games-Time Training Venue for the London 2012 Olympic Games, and the university's Cochrane Park sports ground was a dedicated football training venue for the Games in July 2012. The area around the Cochrane Park sports ground is also widely known as Cochrane Park and is home to Newcastle University's residential facility called Henderson Hall and the Coach Lane Campus of Northumbria University and Roy Haygarth. It consists of many streets such as Felixstowe Drive, Cochrane Park Avenue, Bretton Gardens, Turbina Gardens and Vancouver Drive, opposite the Lochside Public House. It is known as a middle class area. It borders High Heaton, and has local walkways which link it to Paddy Freemans Park and Victoria Glade Park.

Cochrane Theatre

The Cochrane Theatre, previously known as the Jeanetta Cochrane Theatre, was a receiving and producing theatre situated in Holborn, London, that opened in 1964. It is now used for television filming. History The theatre opened in 1963 and was named after its founder, Jeannetta Cochrane, who was a theatre practitioner specialising in costume and scenery design at the Central School of Art and Design, now part of the University of the Arts London. Through her persistence, Cochrane persuaded the London County Council to build a theatre attached to the school that could be used as a practice space. The theatre has a traditional proscenium arch and fly tower consisting of 41 counterweight flying bars, orchestra pit and a fully functioning paint frame (a rarity in London theatres). From 1991 to 1995, Talawa Theatre Company had its home at the Cochrane Theatre. The Cochrane closed in January 2012 when Central St Martin's moved to a new site near King's Cross (unifying what had been disparate locations for different parts of the college), with the new venue having its own theatre, the Platform Theatre. Its owners since 2011, Grange Hotels, are set to demolish the building. Television productions In June 2015 Channel 4 filmed a TFI Friday special at the theatre and a series of ten shows were produced live in October through December 2015. Cochrane Theatre was chosen for the new series as the original location of Riverside Studios where the show was filmed has been demolished and is being redeveloped, due for completion in autumn 2017. ITV's late night chat show The Nightly Show was filmed at the Cochrane Theatre in 2017. Channel 5's Do the Right Thing with Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford was filmed at the Cochrane Theatre in 2019. References
Cock Marsh

Cock Marsh is an area of marsh land and steep chalk slope covering more than 150-acre (61-hectare) north of Maidenhead in Berkshire. It includes a 45-acre (18-hectare) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is also the location of a Round barrow cemetery and common land where livestock have grazed for hundreds of years. Cock Marsh is owned and managed by the National Trust. Description The chalk grasslands of Cock Marsh are located near the River Thames, north of Maidenhead in Berkshire. The site has diverse meadow habitats in a small area, with wet alluvial grassland, calcareous grassland and acidic grassland on clay. It is managed by grazing by horses, cattle and rabbits. There are several ponds and the site is subject to periodic flooding and drying out, which helps to maintain its botanic richness. The marsh is also a locally important birding site. The marshy grasslands and ponds support an abundant and diverse plant community. Some of the plants are: Triglochin palustris (marsh arrowgrass), Hottonia palustris (water violets), Polygonum minus (lesser persicaria), Hydrocotyle vulgaris (marsh pennywort), Oenanthe aquatica (water hemlock), and Salix willow scrub. Cyperus fuscus (brown galingale), a rare and endangered species of sedge, thrives in the wet areas at Cock Marsh where grazing animals disturb the ground. The plant is listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN)'s list of near threatened plant species. It is classified as Vulnerable in Britain and protected by Schedule 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Cock Marsh is one of the Maidenhead and Cookham Commons which were originally part of the Royal Manor of Cookham. These were sold to a committee from the village for £2,800 and donated to the National Trust in 1937, which now manages them. Round barrow cemetery A round barrow cemetery, listed as a scheduled monument, is located at Cock Marsh on the flood plain of the River Thames. The cemetery contains four Bronze Age burial mounds (tumuli) which survive as earthworks. The burial mounds were excavated between 1874 and 1877. The mounds were built in the early Bronze Age and later used as a burial ground by Anglo-Saxons. In the largest mound, the remains of a woman were uncovered along with several remnants from a funeral feast. In one of the smaller barrows, the remains of a small child were discovered. Finds included cremation burials, flint tools, pottery, animal bones, part of a shield and a knife. When initially built, the largest mound had a diameter of 90 and was eight feet high. Today, only the largest mound is discernible. References
Cockshoot Broad

Cockshoot Broad is a 5-hectare (12-acre) nature reserve north-east of Norwich in Norfolk. It is managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust. It is part of the Bure Broads and Marshes Site of Special Scientific Interest, and the Broadland Ramsar site and Special Protection Area, and The Broads Special Area of Conservation. It is also part of the Bure Marshes National Nature Reserve and Nature Conservation Review site, Grade I. The water quality of this broad is very high and it has large beds of water lilies, which provide a habitat for many insects, including red eyed and variable damselflies. Access to the boardwalk through the site is by boat only. References
Cockshut Hill School

Cockshut Hill School is a secondary school and sixth form located in the Yardley area of Birmingham, West Midlands, England. History The school is built on the site of Cockshut Hill Council School which opened in 1937 for juniors and infants. Senior Boys and Senior Girls Departments opened in 1941 and these became separate schools in 1945. The Junior and Infants Department was divided into two departments in 1943. The Infant Department closed in 1957 and the Junior Mixed Department closed in 1958. The former Senior Boys and Senior Girls Departments later became Cockshut Hill Secondary School. The school gained a specialism as a Technology College in the early 2000s and was renamed Cockshut Hill Technology College. Previously a community school administered by Birmingham City Council, in October 2016 Cockshut Hill Technology College converted to academy status and was renamed Cockshut Hill School. The school is now part of the Summit Learning Trust. GCSE results in 2019 placed Cockshut Hill School as one of the most improved schools in the West Midlands in terms of student academic progress (Progress 8). School profile Cockshut Hill School is an eight-form entry 11-16 mixed comprehensive school situated to the southeast of Birmingham in a residential area near the border with Solihull.

Cod Beck Reservoir

Cod Beck Reservoir is a man-made lake situated within the North York Moors National Park, near the village of Osmotherley in the English county of North Yorkshire. The reservoir is named after Cod Beck, which is the small river that fills it. History The building of the reservoir was started in 1948 with final completion in 1953. The dam head height is listed as being 24.4 m (80 ft) and an old pit at Crathorne was re-opened in 1950 to supply clay to line the dam head. The treatment works was closed down in 2006 after the deterioration of the quality of the water from the moorland and the presence of Cryptosporidium; water is now supplied to Northallerton and Thirsk, and to Osmotherley village, from Thornton Steward Reservoir. Cod Beck Reservoir now operates as a compensation reservoir to maintain flow into the downstream reaches of Cod Beck and as such, it is still operated and maintained by Yorkshire Water. The reservoir is surrounded by woodland and just upstream is the local beauty spot called Sheepwash. Because of its position at the north of the North York Moors, the site attracts many visitors from Darlington and Teesside. Cod Beck Reservoir is open to the public for walking and enjoyment of the countryside but campfires, camping, illegal raves, fishing and swimming are prohibited for public safety. Ecology Cod Beck Reservoir is recognised as being important to toads. Common Toads hibernate on the moorland and have been subject to death on the road that runs alongside the reservoir. Volunteers go out on mild wet nights in February for a two to four-week period to rescue the toads. Yorkshire Water have similarly said that they will only release water in drought conditions if it is of benefit to the environment downstream to alleviate the plight of the toads. Cod Beck also supports Brown Trout, Grayling, Bullhead, Eel, Stone loach, Minnow and Lamphrey. Evidence of Otters has also been noted. Facilities Picnic area Car park nearby Activities Walking – a circular path around the reservoir provides a 45-minute walk Private canoeing The Lyke Wake Walk starts opposite the northern end of the reservoir References
All Souls College Library

Die All Souls College Library ist eine Universitätsbibliothek in Oxford, England. Sie gehört zum All Souls College, einem Graduierten-College der University of Oxford. Die Bibliothek wurde in ihrer heutigen Form von Christopher Codrington (1668–1710), einem Fellow des College gestiftet, der durch seine Zuckerplantagen auf Barbados (Codrington Plantations) ein Vermögen verdient hatte. Codrington stiftete Bücher im Wert von 6.000 £, sowie 10.000 £ zum Ausbau der Bibliothek (in heutiger Umrechnung etwa 1,2 Mio. £). Das Bibliotheksgebäude wurde von Nicholas Hawksmoor entworfen, 1716 angefangen und 1751 vollendet und wird seither kontinuierlich genutzt. Es wurde in die Statutory List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest aufgenommen. Gegenwärtig umfasst die Sammlung 185.000 Bände, von denen etwa ein Drittel vor 1800 entstanden ist. Schwerpunkte der Sammlung liegen bei Recht, europäischer Geschichte, Kirchengeschichte, Militärgeschichte und Klassikern. Soziologische und wissenschaftshistorische Themen werden zurzeit ausgebaut. Im Unterschied zu den meisten anderen Bibliotheken ist der Zugang für alle Mitglieder der Universität möglich. Die Bibliothek hat auch eine bedeutende Sammlung an Manuskripten und frühen Drucken, die Gelehrte aus aller Welt anzieht.

All Souls College Library

All Souls College Library (frequently but unofficially called the Codrington Library between the 1840s and 2020) is an academic library in the city of Oxford, England. It is the library of All Souls College, a graduate constituent college of the University of Oxford. History The library in its current form was endowed by Christopher Codrington (1668–1710), a fellow of the college who amassed his fortune through his sugar plantations in Barbados, an island in the British West Indies. These were worked by enslaved people of African descent. Codrington bequeathed books worth £6,000, in addition to £10,000 in currency (the equivalent of approximately £1.2 million in modern terms). The library, designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor, begun in 1716, was completed in 1751 and has been in continuous use by scholars since then. It is Grade I listed on the National Heritage List for England. The first woman to be admitted as a reader to the library was Cornelia Sorabji from Somerville College, at the invitation of Sir William Anson, 3rd Baronet in 1890. Collection The modern collection comprises some 185,000 items, about a third of which were produced before 1800. The library's collections are particularly strong in Law, European History, Ecclesiastical History, Military History, and Classics. There is an expanding collection devoted to sociological topics and the History of Science. Unusually for an Oxford college library, access to the library is open to all members of the university (subject to registration). The library contains a significant collection of manuscripts and early printed books, and attracts scholars from around the world. Renaming In November 2020, the college took the decision to stop referring to the library as the Codrington Library, as part of a set of "steps to address the problematic nature of the Codrington legacy", which derives from exploitation of slave plantations. While the library has since been renamed, a statue of Christopher Codrington remains in the center of the reading room.

All Souls College Library

All Souls College Library, fram till 2020 känt som Codrington Library, är ett akademiskt bibliotek i staden Oxford, England. Det är biblioteket vid All Souls College, ett konstituerande examenscollege vid Oxfords universitet. Historia Biblioteket i sin nuvarande form donerades av Christopher Codrington (1668–1710), en fellow vid högskolan som skapade sin förmögenhet genom sina sockerplantager på Barbados, en ö i Brittiska Västindien. Dessa sköttes av förslavade människor av afrikansk härkomst. Codrington testamenterade böcker till ett värde av 6 000 pund, utöver 10 000 pund i kontanter (motsvarande cirka 1,2 miljoner pund i moderna termer). Biblioteket, designat av Nicholas Hawksmoor, påbörjades 1716, stod klart 1751 och har använts kontinuerligt av forskare sedan dess. Det är klass I listat på National Heritage List för England. Den första kvinnan som antogs som läsare till biblioteket var Cornelia Sorabji från Somerville College, på inbjudan av Sir William Anson, 3:e baronet 1890. Samlingen Den moderna samlingen omfattar cirka 185 000 föremål, varav ungefär en tredjedel är tillkomna före år 1800. Bibliotekets samlingar är särskilt starka inom juridik, europeisk historia, kyrkohistoria, militärhistoria och klassiska språk. Det finns en växande samling som ägnas åt sociologiska ämnen och vetenskapshistoria. Ovanligt för ett Oxford college-bibliotek är tillgången till Codrington öppen för alla medlemmar av universitetet (med förbehåll för registrering). Biblioteket innehåller en betydande samling av manuskript och tidiga tryckta böcker och lockar forskare från hela världen. Ändring av namnet I november 2020 tog skolan beslutet att sluta hänvisa till biblioteket som Codrington Library, som en del av en uppsättning "steg för att ta itu med den problematiska karaktären av Codrington-arvet", som härrör från exploatering av slavplantager. Biblioteket har sedan dess bytt namn, men en staty av Christopher Codrington finns kvar i mitten av läsesalen.

Coe Fen

Coe Fen is a semi-rural meadowland area to the east of the River Cam in the south of the city of Cambridge, England. It lies at the back of Peterhouse (one of the University of Cambridge colleges) to the north, the Fitzwilliam Museum, and The Leys School to the south. The fen is straddled by the Fen Causeway (A1134 road) across the Cam. There is also a footbridge at the back of The Leys School to the south and Crusoe Bridge is just north of the Fen Causeway Bridge. The area is very bucolic considering its closeness to the centre of Cambridge and the cows which graze the grassland. Walking and cycling is pleasant in the area and in the summer there is punting on the river. On the opposite (west) side of the river is Sheep's Green, and Sheep's Green and Coe Fen is a Local Nature Reserve. History Coe Fen and Sheep's Green form a natural area that was once important for the commercial activity of Cambridge. There were up to three watermills in the area. The land between the artificially raised banks of the watercourses was liable to flooding and thus only suitable for grazing (cows on Coe Fen, sheep on Sheep's Green, hence the names). By the 19th century, the fen had become very boggy and was partially drained to help avoid disease. Today, the land is a semi-natural area. Hodson's Folly Hodson’s Folly is a small stone shelter in the classical style near the bridge between Sheep’s Green and Coe Fen. The summerhouse was built in 1887 by John Hodson, who later became a Pembroke College butler, to keep watch on his daughter when she swam in the river. The site has been in the ownership of Cambridge City Council since 1936. It was attacked by vandals in 2014, prompting a petition to restore it. In 2013 Cambridge Past Present and Future is working with local people to restore and improve the Hodson's Folly, its boathouse and secret garden. Laundress Green The northern end of Coe Fen extends across punt rollers to connect with Mill Lane across a weir. The grassy peninsula is named after the former practice of stretching out laundry there, to dry and bleach in the sun. Owing to its proximity to the pubs The Anchor and The Mill, it is a popular spot for picnics in summer. Use of the name Coe Fen is the name of a hymn tune by Ken Naylor, who was music master at The Leys School. It is used for the hymn How shall I sing that majesty?

Pierre de cercueil

La Pierre du Cercueil (en anglais Coffin Stone), également connue sous les noms de Cercueil (Coffin) et Pierre Table (Table Stone), est un grand bloc de grès sarsen situé au pied de Blue Bell Hill, près d'Aylesford, dans le comté anglais du Kent, dans le sud-est de l'Angleterre. Actuellement couchée à l'horizontale, cette pierre se dressait probablement autrefois verticalement à proximité. Plusieurs archéologues ont avancé l'hypothèse que cette pierre faisait partie d'un tumulus long à chambre funéraire aujourd'hui détruit, construit au quatrième millénaire avant notre ère, durant la période du Néolithique ancien britannique. Si un tumulus long à chambre funéraire a effectivement existé sur ce site, il aurait été construit par des communautés pastorales peu après l'introduction de l'agriculture en Grande-Bretagne depuis l'Europe continentale. La construction de tumulus longs constituait une tradition architecturale répandue à travers l'Europe néolithique. Elle se composait de diverses variantes régionales localisées ; l'une d'entre elles se trouvait dans les environs de la rivière Medway, dont les exemples sont aujourd'hui connus sous le nom de mégalithes de la Medway. La Pierre du Cercueil se situe sur la rive orientale de la rivière, non loin des tumulus longs à chambre funéraire de Little Kit's Coty House, Kit's Coty House et du mégalithe de Smythe (aujourd'hui détruit). Trois autres exemples, le tumulus long de Coldrum, le tumulus long d'Addington et le tumulus long de Chestnuts, subsistent sur la rive occidentale de la rivière. La Pierre du Cercueil est une dalle rectangulaire couchée à plat qui mesure 4,42 mètres de longueur, 2,59 mètres de largeur et environ 0,61 mètre d'épaisseur. Deux pierres plus petites gisent à proximité et une autre grande dalle se trouve désormais posée au-dessus. Dans les années 1830, il fut rapporté que des fermiers locaux avaient découvert des ossements humains près de la pierre. Une fouille archéologique du site dirigée par Paul Garwood eut lieu en 2008-2009 ; elle révéla que le mégalithe ne fut placé à son emplacement actuel qu'aux XVe ou XVIe siècles. Les archéologues ne trouvèrent aucune preuve de l'existence d'un tumulus long à chambre funéraire à cet endroit, et suggérèrent que la Pierre du Cercueil se dressait peut-être autrefois verticalement dans les environs. Emplacement La Pierre du Cercueil se trouve dans la ferme de Great Tottington, qui est maintenant utilisée comme vignoble. En 2005, le site n'était pas signalé, mais on pouvait y accéder par un échalier le long du chemin de pèlerinage. La Pierre du Cercueil est située à environ 400 mètres au nord-ouest de Little Kit's Coty House. Elle se trouve également à une courte distance au nord de la source de Tottington.
