Cofton Park

Cofton Park (grid reference SP003762) is a park located in south Birmingham, England. History The 135 acres of land was acquired by Birmingham City Council in 1933 for £10,640 (equivalent to £658,389 in 2025), from the trustees for William Walter Hinde. In his will, he bequeathed the residue of his estate “for the purchase of land…to be kept for ever as an open space for the benefit of the people of Birmingham.” It is home to Birmingham Park's Cofton nursery which provides displays of bedding plants for parks throughout the city. The park is also used for civic occasions, the city centre floral display, Heart of England in Bloom and gardening shows such the Chelsea Flower Show and since 1996, BBC Gardeners’ World Live. Pope Benedict XVI During his visit to the United Kingdom, Pope Benedict XVI celebrated mass and presided over the beatification of Cardinal John Henry Newman, with a crowd of 51,626 people present at the 80,000-capacity Cofton Park near Longbridge, Birmingham, on Sunday 19 September 2010. Prior to the mass, music and prayer ceremonies were held at the park and were broadcast live on BBC Radio 4 as part of their weekly programme Sunday Worship. At the end of the mass, once Pope Benedict XVI had left the park to continue on to other engagements, students from Saint Augustine's High School in Redditch performed numerous soul-inspired songs for the crowd.

Cofton Reservoir

Cofton Reservoir is a canal feeder reservoir, south of the village of Cofton Hackett, Worcestershire in the United Kingdom. The reservoir is situated at the base of the Lickey Hills, 8.5 miles (13.7 km) south west of Birmingham. It is the highest of four Worcester and Birmingham Canal reservoirs in the upper catchments of the River Arrow. It was originally built in 1815 as a compensation reservoir for watermills, which would have otherwise been affected by the construction of the canal. It was later used as a water supply for the canal, a function for which it still serves.

Cogglesford Mill

Cogglesford Mill (sometimes referred to as Coggesford) is a Grade II listed working watermill in Sleaford, Lincolnshire. It is possibly the last working Sheriff's Mill in England. Location The mill sits to the north of Sleaford on banks of River Slea. The ford from which the mill takes its name is where the Roman road, now called Mareham Lane, crossed the Slea. The original crossing, no longer extant, is a few hundred yards downstream of the mill, close to the current footbridge. History There is archaeological evidence of a Saxon mill on the site and records in the Domesday Book of later mills; the present redbrick structure dates to the mid to late 18th century, with alterations from the 19th century. There were many other mills along the river at various times. During the construction of the Sleaford Navigation, in the 1790s, locks were provided at each of the mills to maintain the necessary head of water. After the navigation closed and as the locks fell into disrepair they were replaced by weirs. The weir at Cogglesford is particularly elaborate, having to maintain the head of this still working mill. Cogglesford mill (including the mill race and bridge) was assigned a listed status on 20 July 1973. The mill is open to the public 7 days a week during the summer and stoneground flour is milled there and sold in the shop. Gallery References Further reading N. Pevsner, J. Harris, N.

Coker Court

Coker Court is a substantial manor house in East Coker, Somerset, England. It was built in the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries and has been designated as a Grade I listed building. It was erected by the Courtney family who were lords of the manor and rectors of the adjacent parish church. The building is constructed from locally quarried Hamstone with roofs composed of stone tiles. History The Courtney family were lords of the manor in the 14th and 15th centuries and appointed the rectors of the adjacent St Michael and All Angels' Church. They built the present building, on the site of an earlier house during the early part of the 15th century. In 1616 it was bought by archdeacon Helyar who added to the structure of the building. William Helyar supported the king during the English Civil War. His grandson, another William Helyar, was Member of Parliament for Somerset in 1715. The Helyar family owned sugar plantations in Jamaica. The MPs grandson, another William Helyar (died 1820; pictured), commissioned architect Joseph Dixon to design a new wing for the Court, in 1766. The 18th-century portion was built by Sir William Chambers. The house is now divided into several properties. Architecture Coker Court is a manor house, constructed in the fifteenth century and now divided into several units. Major additions were made in the eighteenth century and further extensions in around 1900. The house is constructed of locally quarried Hamstone rubble with ashlar dressings, with roofs of stone tiles between coped gables. The extension is rendered and has a hipped roof. The chimney stacks are of stone, some of them rendered. The north front is the earliest part of the building, and has seven bays. The east front is the eighteenth-century structure and also has seven bays. To the south and west is the four-bay extension erected around 1900 as servants quarters, and now a separate dwelling house. On the north front, bay 1 is the end of the eighteenth century addition and has a blind Venetian window while bay 2 has an oriel window, the two arched windows having tracery and diamond leaded panes. Bay 2 is separated from bay 3 by an angled buttress, and further full height buttresses separate bays 3, 4 and 5, which each have similar windows. Bay 6 has a projecting porch and is separated from bay 7 by another buttress. Bay 7 has twentieth century mullioned windows. The interior of the house has some interesting features including Chinese wallpaper and lacquerwork in some upstairs rooms. The house is a Grade I listed building, and the listing particulars state that it is "A very fine example in which either major portion would merit the high grading". Film Part of the 1996 film Emma, based on the novel of the same name by Jane Austen, was shot on location at Coker Court. See also List of Grade I listed buildings in South Somerset References
Colchester Academy

Colchester Academy, formerly Sir Charles Lucas Arts College, is a secondary school in Colchester, Essex specialising in English and Health Sciences. It opened on 6 September 2010. Description Colchester Academy opened in September 2010 in the existing buildings of its predecessor school and moved into new, purpose-built academy buildings in February 2014. The academy is sponsored by Colchester Institute and the University of Essex. Colchester Academy is smaller than the average-sized secondary school, with a capacity for 1200 but as of March 2020 only having 758. The school received a good ofsted report in 2017 where the inspectors said that the trust was giving the school leaders good support, and through the efforts of the head and senior staff structures were in place. There were good relationships between adults and students. The behaviour of the pupils had improved and consequently their results had improved too. Academics There is a two-year Key Stage 3, where subjects are taught that comply with the National Curriculum. The language taught is Spanish. At the end of year, students select the options. They are advised to follow one of three pathways: a totally academic one, suitable for students who are aiming for a Russell Group university, a four by four one- with four academic GCSE courses and four vocational BTEC courses and a mainly vocational pathway. Within these pathways there are six or seven combinations of subjects. Each student studies four optional subjects and a core of 4 subjects, with a few statutory non-exam activities. Controversy A BBC Panorama investigation broadcast in September 2018 suggested that some work, funded from public money, was not completed in the academy's Sports Centre. The Conservative government, which had approved the academy initiative, had been warned about problems in 2015, but no action had been taken. Michael Dwan, who set up Bright Tribe, said "I am not in control of the trusts and never have been." See also List of secondary schools in Essex References External links Colchester Academy

Coldham Hall

Coldham Hall est un bâtiment classé Grade I, construit en 1574, situé dans la paroisse de Bradfield Combust avec Stanningfield dans le Suffolk. Le manoir est très proche du village de Lawshall, et une partie du domaine de Coldham est située dans cette paroisse. Description Coldham Hall est une grande maison de campagne Tudor qui est construite en 1574 pour Sir Robert Rookwood (ou Rokewood) de Stanningfield. Une caractéristique notable de ce bâtiment à deux étages est le grand hall, avec une longue galerie dans le comble d'environ 32 mètres de long, allant d'est en ouest. Les modifications internes entreprises vers 1770 comprennent une chapelle catholique romaine avec de délicats plâtres, menant de la longue galerie. Les modifications du milieu du XIXe siècle, notamment les loggias des côtés est et sud, sont maintenant supprimées, mais diverses modifications des fenêtres à l'arrière et une aile de service à l'extrémité nord subsistent. La maison est restaurée vers 1980. Histoire Après sa construction par Robert Rookwood en 1574, Coldham Hall reste la propriété de la famille Rookwood pendant près de trois siècles, jusqu'en 1869. La maison a un certain nombre de résidents célèbres, dont Ambrose Rookwood qui est impliqué dans la Conspiration des Poudres et est exécuté en 1605. La famille Rookwood reste dans la foi catholique romaine, comme le montrent les deux chapelles et plusieurs trous de prêtres à Coldham. Une caractéristique remarquable de l'histoire de Stanningfield et Lawshall est la continuité du catholicisme romain du Moyen Âge à nos jours, dans une région à prédominance protestante. Alors que la propriété reste dans la famille Rookwood jusqu'en 1869, le domaine passe par la lignée féminine aux Gages de Hengrave et est loué à un locataire, Robert Taylor dans les années 1840. En 1869, le domaine est vendu à Richard Holt-Lomax, dont la famille le détient jusqu'en 1893. L'acheteur en 1893 est le lieutenant-colonel Henry Trafford-Rawson qui développe Coldham en tant que domaine de tir, agrandissant d'anciens massifs boisés et plantant de nouveaux blocs, certains très proches du Hall. Après la mort du fils du colonel, le capitaine John Henry Edmund Trafford-Rawson (du West Yorkshire Regiment comme son père), sur la Somme pendant la Grande Guerre, le domaine de Coldham est acheté en 1918 par le colonel Everard Hambro, qui y vit jusqu'à sa mort en 1952. En 1952, le domaine est acheté par Richard Duce qui garde la propriété pendant 27 ans avant de la vendre à David Hart, un conseiller de Margaret Thatcher, en 1979. Depuis lors, le domaine appartient à Jens Pilo ; et plus récemment Matthew Vaughn et sa femme top model Claudia Schiffer, les propriétaires actuels. Un incendie sur la propriété en 2014 détruit plusieurs bâtiments sur le terrain, mais n'a pas atteint la maison elle-même.

Coldham Hall

Coldham Hall är ett engelskt country house som ligger i Stanningfield i Suffolk, East Anglia i England (i närheten av Lawshall). Det byggdes 1574 åt Sir Robert Rookwood och runt 1770 förändrades herrgårdens interiör om, där bland annat ett romerskt-katolskt kapell byggdes. En del förändringar skedde även under mitten av 1800-talet, men de flesta av dessa är nu borttagna. Coldham Hall restaurerades runt 1980. Coldham Hall tillhörde släkten Rookwood under närmare tre sekler, från 1574–1869. En av de mer kända från denna släkt var Ambrose Rookwood, som medverkade i den misslyckade krutkonspirationen 1605. När Rookwoods far hade avlidit 1600 fick Rookwood ärva Coldham Hall, vilket han gjorde om till en fristad för präster. Inuti herrgården byggdes även ett antal prästgömmor. Hyresgästen Robert Taylor tog över ägarskapet för herrgården under 1840-talet och 1869 såldes det till Richard Holt-Lomax, vars familj ägde Coldham Hall fram till 1893. Efter detta köptes herrgården av Henry Trafford-Lawson och 1918 av Everard Hambro, som bodde där fram till sin död 1952. Då tog Richard Duce över Coldham Hall innan David Hart 1979 köpte den. Herrgården har även ägts av Jens Pilo, men för tillfället är det Matthew Vaughn och Claudia Schiffer som står som ägarna.
