COPPED HALL TRUST-STRATEGIC REPORTFOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 OBJEcrives AND A1VITIEs The ob-ects of the Trust are, in summary, to conserve, restore and maintain Copped Hall, near Epping in Esse and to use the site for educational, culturnl and community purposes. The Copped Hall site was occupied in the 12 century. During the 14 tentury It belonged to the Abbots of Waltham. was extended from 180 to 300 acres and in 1537 wa5 given to Henry Vlll in the hope of saving Waltham Abbey If( was dissofved three year5 later). In the middle of the 16 century it changed hands and Elizabeth I gave it to Sir Thomas Heneage who largely rebuilt tt to form a very impressNe mansion. In 1739 Copped Hall was sold to Edward Conyers and after his death his son. John. decided to demolish the Elizabethan mansion in 1748 as he wanted to express himself with a new Palladian mansion on a different part of the srf(e. Little remains of the Elizabethan mansion although there is much informatK)n about It and our archaeologists are constantly finding out more. The Georgian mansion i% very well proportioned with an excellent printipal floor plan. Together with it5 landscaped park it foms a perfect example of an '18th century house in landscape,. There Is also a mid-18 century 4-acre walled garden producing flowers, fruit and vegetable5. In 1869 Copped Hall was acquired by the extremely wealthy George Wythes. Between 1894 and 1897 his grandson Substantially enlarged the Copped Hall with elaborate exten5ion5. An architectural Italianate garden was constructed to the west and the mansion was extended by two wings - one for extra accommodation to the north and to the south a larEe winter-garden or conservatory. 8y 1900 the gardens were looked after by at least 31 gardeners with a staff of 27 in the house. In 1917 the Georgian mansion was tragically burnt out and. although ihe gardens were maintained until World War11. the mansion was not rebuilt and gradually fell victim to asset stripping and dilapidation. Later the M25 was constructed through a corner of the parL Desprte all this the structure of the shell remained in surprisinglv good condition. ACHIEVEMENTS AND PERFORMANCE The Cam A nine-year cam al was fought from 1986 to 1995 to save Copped Hall and its, by then I,000-acre, park from large-scale developrnent. This group that fought the campaign was called the 'Friend5 of Copped Hall, and comprised representatives of local conservation societies. The aims were to Secu the freehold of Copped Hall and gardens in a charitable trust and then. after careful research, to restore the mansion and gardens for educational, cultural and community use5. The campaign was a succe5S. Extracts from SAVE Britain's Heritage The Destructlon of the Country House- 40 Years On"_ ucce55ive commercial proposa15 were putforword.... All were fought off by local compaigners speciallvf0rn7ed Copped Hall Trust bought the mansion ond gordens This 15 0 model of what voluntary group5 can achieve.-
COPPED HALL TRUST-STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 Restoration Theco ed Hall Trust was set up in 1993. purchased the freehold of the mansion and gardens in 1995 and then began to restore the building5 and gardens after careful research. The freehold of the walled kitchen 8arden was acquired in 1999. What the Trust had acquire(I was essentialfy a shell inhabited with trees. The seNice buildings were partly burnt, the lead had been stripped from the roofs, the gardens were overgrown and many parts of the premises had been vandalised. The first flve years of the Trusvs operations consted of restorin8 the Service buildings and racquets court while clearing the gardens and making the site secijre. In 1998 Trustees set upthe'Friends ot the Co ed Hall Trurf to support the Trust and its objectives. The Friends now have around 1,300 members from whom are drawn volunteers who a551St wtth all aspects of the project. Most of the volunteer5 are grouped into teams- wtth a team leader- focusing on different parts of the project. As interest in the project grew a stillgrowing<ommuni of volunteers began clearance of non-original vegetation tOEetherwtth the clearance of debris from the mansion. Soon afterthe site had been acquired guided tours were organised and, once floorsand roof structu$ were reinstated, tt became possible to hold study day5 and concerts and later, a5 the mansion became increasingly usable. events such as meetings of local organisations. By the time of approving this report the communsty of volunteers had grown to 127. Volunteers continue to be an essential element of the restoration project. In 2019 the Trust began to keep records of the hours volunteers devote to the project and an almost certainW understated total for 2020 wa5 12,53212019- 14,8791. Valued at the hourly living wage this FS the equivalent of around £136,OLX)12019 - £157,000). This is not included in the Tru5Vs accounts. During the pandemic reStrtionS many Voluntee continued to work in the mansion'5 gardens and grounds using their own tools. Having 27 acres they were able to keep more than the ¢0MMended social distance from each other. Many have expressed how benefKial this was to their well-being. Grants from organisations and donations from indNiduab began to help to finance the restoration, all of which has been managed bythe Trustees underthe direction of theTru5t's archttect and project manager in consultation with the authorities. At any one time the Trust has a number of ma or and minor "erts in progress. The purpose of the minor projects, typically of up to £5,(KIO each. is to irnprove the experience of visitors and make the Hall more useable for the many events taking place in and around it. In 2020 the maln focus of the progrnmme of maior pro5ects was on- The Li htwell is a four storey enclosed Space. open to the sky, created when the wing was built in 1895. It is proposed to erect a glazed roof over this space and to install a steel staircase to enable access to the ground, first and second floor5. The cost of the glazed roof and associated works is approximately £I,0¢Xl and the C05t of the staircase is about £50.CW. A temporary staircase has been constructed to enable possible donors to comprehend the detai[5 of this project at roof level. An illustrated fund-ratsing document has been produced. Funding has been raised. Work has advanced to include the steel roof frame.

The Loggia faces an enclosed garden beside the 50Uth elevation of the .k mansion. The loggia remained after the mansion was gutted by tire in 1917 but was sold In 1950 after becoming derelict. The Trust managed to secure the retum of some of the columns an(1 had others made. The stNclure has now been baSIcd reinstated. We We supported in the work by a second grant of £IO.000 from the Essex Heritage Trust in addition to a private donation. The Orchard House Irrghtl the largest glasshouse in the Walled Kitchen Garden. The original building was very badly decayed and eventually collapsed. Over the last few years the Trust has reconstructed the eastern end of this important building according to its original details and now has completed the second section thank5 to a generous legacy. A specialst heritage glasshouse contractor was appointed to carry out this work. The Orchard House will be used for nurturing young fnjit trees and also for related educational purposes. ** The Winte arden Ileftl was a very elaborate building constructed of Portland stone comprising a huge domed roof of iron lattice beam5 and glass with the elevations fitted with extensive windows in teak frames. AroLtnd 1960, the Wintergarden was dynamÉted and the roof was destroyed- together with parts of the walls. Considerable work by volunteers has clead all the debris from the site and reconstruction work has begun. The Wintergarden was an excellent building and well worth restoring in phases. Important sections of the stonework are now being restored. Entrance hall windows architraves and shutters The Entrance Hall is a much-u5ed space &$ it is where everybody enters the building. The reinstatement of the windows was a welcome improvement. This was a complex operation as the external stone architraves first had to be restored as they were badly damaged. Once this work had been completed temporary steel securty shutters had to be installed before the windows could be fitted. The finan for all this work came from a number of private donations. Many of the ground and first floor windows have been instslled have been installed and twelve of the 33 second floorwindows have now been frtted. It would be very beneficial to install these window5 fortwo reasons..- firstly, it would enable Copped Hall to look much more complete and welcoming and, second. we are now beginning to use the rooms on the second floor. All the windows on the Eroun(l and first floor have been fltted with steel

The second floor windows would not need external shutters. The cost to install these second-fbor windows would total £28,(KKI. Education The Trusys educational object continues to be addressed in many different ways- Restoration of the Mansion and ardens is in itself an educational vehicle. wlt0[5 come time and time again to see how the restoration is progressing. It is often commerrted upon that it is rare to see a historic building being reassembled from a ruin. Some say it is more interesting than vi51ting a completed historic buildingl There are normally 11 uided tours for the public each year and atso a number of special interest prNate tour5. The Open Days are in May, August October- with the latter also being an 'Apple Day, where apples from all over England are displayed and identified. These guided tour days and open days gtve the public a chance to explore the mansion an(J gardens and ask detailed questions about the restoration and the design of the building. Copped Hall - being on high ground- is an ancient slte of human habitation. The Copped Hall Trust has joined with the West Essex Archaeological Group IWEAGI to explore and document the Trust's land including the site of the Eliiabethan Mansion at Copped Hall. Every yearthere are series of investigation5 carried out which are principally educational. The first one is in May when WEAG advance their exploration5 and make their findings understandable forthe public on the Open Day at the end of May. During the summer WEAG hold Taster Weekends, on the Copped Hall 51te to introduce members of the public to Archaeolo WEAG abo runs Trnining Courses for those who already have some knowledge of archaeology. The Trust has created dlsplay, storage and archive facilr(ies for the archaeologists. Copped Hall is proving a rich archaeological site with even Roman artefacts being unearthed. On the first floor of the Virtorian wing are four grand rooms which are making tt possible to hold more comprehensive exhibition5. Three main exhibition5 have been held to date all illuminating the history of Copped Hall ènd the restoration work, including detailed displays featuring Old Copt Hall. Page 16
COPPED HALL TRUST- STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 3 1 DECEMBER 2020 The School team would nomially host a variety of study days covering Lwing History, Creative Writing. Art, Habitat and Plants and Archaeology. Thanks to the experti%e of one of our volunteers, these days have been remodelled to ensure we deliver an enrichment day which tailored to the latest Primary Education requirements as well as reflecting the history* environment and cuhure of Copped Hall. We are also expanding our provision to cater for the requirements of Secondary schools. We strive to broaden the opportunities we offer to local schools, ensurlng that they reflect the curriculum and financial constraints of the schools.

Our regular Stud Da and Worksho s had to be substantialty curtailed with the exception of the classes in drnwin& fumiture restoration and bee- keeping Irightl and a lecture where social distancing could be achieved. Culre recreation and ubli communi benefit Copped Hall has become a significant element of the local community, providing an outlet for the considerable energy of its volunteers. a venue for education and cuttu, an Interest for its vtsitors and a virtually unique model of community action to Conserve. restore and re-acquire heritage assets. Whilst most of its Friends live in the Epping Forest and North-East London area. there És considerdble interest elsewhere in the UK and indeed some interest in Ireland. Canada, Australia and the USA.

COPPED HALL TRUST- STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 In 2020 the very extensNe annual programme of events was severely curtailed by the pandemic and most had to be postponed or canlled. Some events were transforrned into garden events. which were able to take place with social distancing. However, the following events did proceed more or less as planned-
Garden afternoons from Juty onwards In 2020 Copped Hall hosted what might be a farewell benefft Concert by the intemationalty acclaimed Fitzwilliam Quartet who have befriended the Tnjst. FINANCIAL REVIEW The Trusys principal sources of finance have been- l. The sale of leaseholds 2. Grants from institutions, indNidual donation5 and legacies 3. Giftaid 4. Events within its primary purpose and 5. A limlted amount of trading Copped Hall was purchased by the Trust entire via loans from the Architertural Heritage Fund and a private trust. These were repaid by the sale of six leasehold dwellings created within the existing service buildings. The loans were mostly paid off by the year 20LK) and since that time the Tryst has advanced all aspects of the project by the four other sources of finance above. At the 31 Dernber 2020 the investment in the purchase and restoration had reached around £3.47m trieose stt nrte lol. not induding the very considerable input from the volunteer community. During 2020 the Trust invested around £145,360 in restoration of the mansion, spent around £27,160 on small works. around £15,900 on the maintenance and restoration of the gardens and around £31.61X) on the Orchard House- altogether around £220,0(X). In 2020 the Trust received grdnts of £1,000 from the Tylers and Bricklayers Charitable Trust and of £10,000 from the Grange Farm Trust to provide safe access to the Wintergarden. Late in 2020 the Trust learnt of a bequest from a very popularvolunteer who had died in June 2020. An estimate of the value of the bequest has been included in the accounts. The exact value is not yet known. The Trustees are enormously grateful to all grantors. donors. friends and volunteers, past and present. The Trust's income in 2020 was athersely affected by the Covid pandemic. Many public events. study days. concerts and other performances had to be cancelled or postponed beyond the year end and those which were ble to proceed often had to involve smaller numbers so that social distancing could be obseNed. It is believed that around £50,000 of net income was lost irb this wav. Risk and uncertain The Board has established a Risk and Compliance Commrttee and a Health and Safety Committee, the latter consisting of all Trustees plus I specialist Heahh and Safety Advisor. The Risk and Compliance Committee advises the Board on all aspects of Risk apart from Health and Safety. The Trust has developed a Risk Register and uses that to score and monitor risks and record and monitor appropriate actions. The most significant risks at the time of reporting concern the potential loss of the 5kilts and knowledge of key individuals, including Trustees, and Health and Safety as the mansion and grounds are restored. The Board has agreed a number of significant measures to reduce the probability and impact in particular of fi hazards and has set frJnds aside to that end. Goin concern The accounts have been prepared on the basi5 that the Trust is a going concern. The Trustees are confident that this is the case and have based this judgement having set aside funds sufficient to meet all approved project costs and forecast the income and expenditure for the General fund for 18 months from the time of approving thls report.
COPPED HALITRUST-STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2020 The Trust has no debt. It has regular unrestricted income in the form of membership subscriptions from its Friends and rents totalling around £38,(XW) pa. sufficient to meets its annual support costs. Reserves The Trusys Reserves Policy is that- a. It will retain its Expendable Endowment fund as a contingency or precautionary fund. b. It will retain unrestricted fund5 a5 atransactional reSee of not less than 100% of the estimated value of orders outstanding arbd chargeable to its reserves Iu5 100% of other budgeted expenditure chargeable to its reserves in the following 3 calendar months. At the end of 2020 the Trusys unrestricted funds not invested in fixed assets were £513,213 Id 2019 £30,996) and expenditure from those unrestrlcted funds in the first 3 month5 of 2021 was around £50,250, of which around £37,350 was on projects. Investment oli¢ For the foreseeable future it is not anticipated that the Trust will have sufficient investments to invest primarily for a return, as the majority of bequests and gifts to the Trust tt is anticipated will be applied over a short-term period for the ongoing restoration of the Trust property in accordance with the Trust's 5-year plan in furtherance of the Trust's charttable object5. The principal focus of the Trusvs current investment policy b therefore capital preservation at an acceptable level of risk. The Trust has currently no permanent endowment though. were it to receive one, then the wlicy would be amended to considerfor that element of our investments an appropriate return strate8y but tonsistent with the overall objertNe of capital preservation. In the context of the overall financial position of the Trust, for the foreseeable future, the investment policy for those investments held in support of the Trust'5 reserves policy will also be conslstent with that for bequests and donations, though the financial instruments held for this element of the overall investments held, is expected to be wlder reflecting a longer-term view that would be appropriate. The expectation is thereforethat forthe short term, the great majority of investments will be held in cash or liquid money market funds diversified to ensure capital preservation but seekin8 the best return consistent with such a policy. To achieve these overall oblectives theTrust will appoint an investment adviserin respect of the total investments held. and the mandate given to this adviserwill include wherever applicable to consider environmental. social and governance factors. FUTURE PLANS The Vision The vision for Copped Hall is that, through a programme of restoration of the mansion and gardens and of improvement in the facilitie5 Wt provides, it will become the premier local and first-class national venue for community. cultural and educational use. Conferences will be added to the range of study day5, lectures and workshops which aladY exists and the subject matter will be extended to Include, for example, archaeology, social history, the care of historic buildin85, the natural environment. agricultural Practi5, horticulture and garden and landscape design. The Trust will gradually expand the number of concerts and theatrical productions it hosts and provide for meetings of community groups. As ever. this expansion of actNities will draw on the community of l¢)cal volunteers. ed Hall Estate The Co Our project occupies some 30 acres in the middle of I.0 attes of lan(tscaped parkland and previously working farm.
