Cottesmore School

Cottesmore is a boarding preparatory school in the United Kingdom, founded in 1894. History Cottesmore was founded by Geoffrey Davison Brown in 1894 in Hove, East Sussex. He named the school after Cottesmore, Rutland, where he was born. The new buildings for the preparatory school were officially opened on 19 June 1897. Davison Brown served as headmaster until his death in 1929, aged 60. In 1940 the school was evacuated from the south coast of England, to Wales, initially to the Oakeley Arms Hotel, Tan-y-bwlch, Merioneth, and later to a former workhouse in Cors-y-Gedol Hall, near Barmouth, until the end of the war. The school moved to its present site at Pease Pottage after World War II in 1946. The school is housed in a Grade II-listed Victorian mansion known as Buchan Hill that was built in 1882–3 by Philip Felix Renaud Saillard. The building is a large Elizabethan-style house, designed by the architects Ernest George and Harold Peto. Buchan Hill had been purchased in the early 19th century by Thomas Erskine (Lord Chancellor 1806–1807), son of the Earl of Buchan. In 2023, Cottesmore appointed the first AI headteacher, which they named Abigail Bailey, to assist the human headmaster. Bailey answers questions in the same manner as an AI chat bot like ChatGPT, with answers often found online. Additionally, students 4 to 13 were given their own individual AI teachers to help with their personal education and needs.

Cotuit Hall

Cotuit Hall is part of the EF International Academy's campus in Oxford, England. Until 2011 it was one of the halls of residence at Oxford Brookes University. History The hall was originally named Napier House after its commissioner and first occupant, Arthur Sampson Napier. A fellow of Merton College and professor of English language and literature, he employed the architect Harry Wilkinson Moore to design a house for himself, his wife, their six children and four servants. The house was to be built on land he had recently purchased in Pullen's Lane at the top of Headington Hill, an area of growing favour among Oxford academics. The house was completed in 1892, and Napier lived there with his family until his death in 1916. Napier House was then bought at auction by Headington School, who used the building to house their junior department. In 1930, the senior school moved into new buildings, and the junior section moved into its current location on the south side of London Road (where the senior school had previously been). The name of Napier House moved with the school. The building, thus vacated, reverted for a time to being a private dwelling, and was given its current name of Cotuit Hall. The origin of the name is uncertain: Cotuit is the name of a village in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. In this period, it was occupied by Redvers Opie, fellow and tutor in Economics at Magdalen College. From the 1940s until 1958, Cotuit Hall was the City of Oxford Children's Home, which relocated to Windmill rd, Headington to become Windmill House. In the late 1950s, it again became a private house, occupied by the Reverend D. B. Jones, but by 1962 it had become a Hostel of the College of Technology, which later became the Polytechnic and then Oxford Brookes University. In 2011 it was sold by Oxford Brookes University to the EF International Academy, who use it for students aged 16–18 taking two-year A-level or International Baccalaureate residential courses.

Coughton Court

Coughton Court (uttalas som "Coat-un") är ett stately home som ligger i Warwickshire, Midlands i England. Det byggdes någon gång under 1500-talet och klassas som ett engelskt country house i Tudorstil. Den äldsta delen av byggnaden (kallad Tudor Gatehouse, som dateras till 1530) är delvis inspirerad av den engelska renässansstilen och den gotiska stil som populariserades av Horace Walpole, 4:e earl av Orford. Området vid Coughton har ägts av släkten Throckmorton sedan 1409, då de förvärvade detta via äktenskap. Coughton byggdes om av Sir George Throckmorton, son till Sir Robert Throckmorton och Catherine Marrow. Släkten Throckmorton uppskattades av kungafamiljen och de valde att tillägna Tudor Gatehouse till Henrik VIII av England. Throckmorton blev dock ökänd på grund av sin inblandning i skilsmässan mellan kung Henrik och hans fru Katarina av Aragonien; Throckmorton favoriserade nämligen drottningen och var emot reformationen. Han tillbringade större delen av sitt liv med att bygga om Coughton. Efter Throckmortons död 1552 ärvde hans son, Robert, Coughton. Coughton Court spelade mindre roller både i Throckmortonsammansvärjningen 1583 och krutkonspirationen 1605, även om släkten Throckmorton inte var aktivt medverkande i den senare. Coughton Court har sedan 1946 var i ägo av National Trust; dock har släkten Throckmorton ett leasingavtal på 300 år under vilka de sköter om fastigheten å National Trusts vägnar.

Counterslip Baptist Church

Counterslip Baptist Church is a church located in south Bristol, England. It has been located on its Wells Road site on the Wells Road since the 1950s having previously been located on Counterslip near Bristol Bridge. In 2023 the church discerned the call of God for them to leave the Wells Road site, and so since November 2024 has been meeting for its Sunday morning services at the Oasis Academy John Williams on Petherton Road. The church was founded in 1804 when 49 members of the declining Pithay Church (which later became Kings Street and eventually Cairns Road Baptist Church) left and decided to set up a church of their own at Tailor's Court. The first service was held on 12 November that year. By 1810, numbers at the church had risen to around 70. It was then that the church moved to Counterslip and acquired the name that it is still known by today. By 1822, membership at the church had risen to well over 200. By the mid-1870s, membership had risen to around 500 causing the church to move again, this time to Victoria Street where a chapel was built which was used until the 1940s when it was bombed during the Second World War. The Church used several temporary venues before it moved to the Hengrove Hall in Whitchurch (later the Kingdom Hall used by the Jehovah's Witnesses, then a dance studio). In 1948, the church moved to its Wells Road site where two temporary buildings had been erected, a main church building and a hall. In 1957, work began on the premises that the church has used until November 2024 which opened on 28 June. Football Counterslip Baptist Church FC has played in the Premier Division of the Bristol Churches Football League. (This stopped running in the early 2000s).

Country Land and Business Association

The Country Land and Business Association (CLA) is a membership organisation representing landowners, property owners and business owners in England and Wales. Until 2000, the organisation was known as the Country Landowners Association. The CLA publishes the monthly Land and Business magazine Membership CLA members own or manage 10 million acres, over 50% of the rural land in England and Wales. Its 28,000-strong membership includes landowners, farmers and rural businesses. Function The CLA states that it "is the only organisation dedicated to defending your interests as a landowner and is your only truly independent and authoritative source of advice." It offers members a support and advice network through a free in-house policy, legal, and tax advisory service, as well as offering networking opportunities for landowners and rural businesses. The CLA lobbies to protect its members' interests in relation to rural issues at local, national and EU levels. Activities The Policy team, based in the London office, offers advice on tax and legal, environment and conservation, agriculture and land management, as well as planning, housing and heritage. This includes issues such as the right to roam, reform of the EU Common Agricultural Policy, heritage, rural housing, renewable energy and taxation. Six regional offices include teams of rural surveyors and advisers for local branch members. History The Country Landowners’ Association was founded in 1907 in Lincolnshire. As of 1910, the CLA had a membership of 1,000, including 100 Members of Parliament. By 1918, the CLA had 8,000 members. In 2000, the Country Landowners association changed its name to the Country Land and Business Association starting in 2001. This was done in part to distance the CLA from the perception of representing privileged landed gentry. The organisation celebrated its centenary in 2007. Journalist Charles Clover wrote The History of the CLA to celebrate the anniversary. In 2023, OpenDemocracy reported that the CLA had successfully lobbied the government against abolishing the deadline of right to roam claims. Structure The CLA is governed by the CLA Council. There is a small board of directors that is responsible for the running of the CLA. There is a main corporate office based in London and also five regional offices and one national office (Wales): Midlands East South East South West Wales North CLA Game Fair The CLA no longer runs the CLA Game Fair. It announced in September 2015 that it "could no longer ask CLA members to allow their membership subscriptions to underwrite the losses the event makes."
