During the 14 century it belonged to the Abbots of Woltham. wos extended from 180 to 300 acres and in 1537 was given to Henry Vlll in the hope of saving Waltham Abbey {It Wos dissolved three years later). In the middle of the 16 century it changed hands and Elizabeth I gave it to Slr Thomas Heneage who largely rebuilt it to form o very impressive mansi1. In 1739 the Estate wos sold to Edward Conyer5 Qnd after his death his son, John. decided to demolish the Ellzabethon monsion in 1748 05 he wonted to express himself with o new Pollodian monsion on a different part of the slte. Little remains of the Elizabethan mansion although there is muth informotion about it and our archaeologists are constontly finding Out more. The Georgian monsion is very well proportioned with on excellent principol floor plon. Together with its landscoped park it forms o perfect exomple of an '18th century house in landscape.. There is 0150 a mid- 18 century 4-acre wolled garden producing flowers. frult and vegetables. In 1869 Copped Hull wa5 acquired by the extremely wealthy George Wythe5. Between 1894 and 1897 his grandson substantially enlorged the Copped Hall with elaborote extensions. An architectural Italianate garden wos constructed to the west ond the mansion was extended by two wings- one for extro accomrnodotion to the north and to the south o large winter-9arden Of ¢onservatory. By 1900 the gardens were looked after by at least 31 gardeners with o stoff of 27 in the house. In 1917 the Georglon mansion was trogically burnt out ond, although the gardens were mairtained untll World War 11. the manslon wos not rebuilt ond gradually fèll victim to Q55et strlpping ond dilopidation. Loter the M25 wos constructed through o Corner of the pork. Despite oll this the structure of the shell remoined in surprisingly good condition. A nine-year was fought from 1986 to 1995 to save Copped Hall and its l.000-acre wrk from lorge-scole development. Thls group that tought the compoign wos called the 'Friends of Copped Holl, and comprised representotives of loral conservation societies. The oims were to secure the freehold of Copped Hall ond gcjrdens in o churitoble trust and then. after cafUl reseorch, to restore the fflonsion ond gardens for edUcotic0[. eulturol and community uses. The camp2ign was Q sLS. Extrocts from SAVE Britoin's Heritoge "The Destruction ot the Country House - 40 Yeors On" _ "Successive commercial proposals were put forward....

COPPED HALL TRUST- TRU5TEES' ANNUAL RIPOftT r-OR THF YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 The £oppEWaS set up in 1993. purchosed the freehold of the mansion ond gardens in 1995 ond then began to restore the bulldings and gardens cffter coreful reseorch. The freehold of the walled kitchen garden was oquired in 1999. What the Trust had ocquired wos essentially o shell Inhabited with trees. The service buildings Vre wrtly burnt. the leod had been Stripped from the roofs, the gorden5 were overgrown and mony ports of the premises had been vandalised. The first five years of the Trust's operotlons conslsted of restoring the service building5 and rocquets court while cleurirvJ the gardens 01 making the 51te secure. In 1998 TrLtstees set up the ' ' to sup1 the Trust and its objective5. The Friends now hove around 1.300 members from whom are drawn volunteers who (Jssist with all aspects of the project. Most of the volunteers are grouped into teams - with a team leader - focusing on different ports of the project. As interest in the project grew a still growing begon clearance of non-original L4 vegetation together with the clearonce of debris from the monsion. Soon after the site hod been ocquired guided tours were organised ond, once floor5 and roof structures vre reinstated, it became possible to hold study doys ond concerts later. as the monsion became Increasingly usable. events such as meetings of local orgonisations. Volunteer5 continue to be an essentlal element of the restoration project. By the time of approving this report the community of volunteer5 hod grown to 183. Their hLe contribution in generating incorne and saving costs Is not included In the Trust's accounts. During the pandemlc restrictions many volunteers continued to work in the Mansion's gardens ond grounds using their own tools. Having 27 acres they were oble to keep more than the recommended social distonce from each other. Many hove expressed how benef icial this wos to thelr well-being, Gtqntx from organisotlons from individuols began to help to finan the restorotion, oll of which has been monoged by the Trustees under the direction of the Trust's Architect and Project Manager in consultation with the authorities. The vision for Copped Hall is that. through a programme ot re5torotion of the rnan5ion and gardens and of improvement in the facilitie5 it provides. it will be¢ome the premier local and first-closs national location for community, culturol and educotional use. Conferences wlll be added to the ronge of study doys. lectures ond workshops which already exist such as archaeology. Social hlstory. hortlculture. ostronomy. historic buildings and care of historic buildings. These subjects will be extended to inclLKle other reloted matters such as garden and land5cope design. Copped Holl hos hosted severol conferences on the welfore of bees. We hove on our teom a retired biologist who hos carried out on audit of all the wildlife on the estate. assembled exhibitions and given regular lectures at Copped Holl on hls findings and the effects of climate change. It Is also an element of the vision for Copped Hall thot it will be o setting for ronferences. lertures. study days and workshops more broadly for the conservotion of the natural world. Whilst the restoration of Copped Holl inevitably involves the consumption of energy. the mansion is not permanently heated. ond energy consumption is kept to an obsolute minimum. If the campoi9n hod not succeeded. there con be little doubt that the negative envifonmental impact ot private development involving v05t new buildings on the conservation areo would hcwe been far greater. The Trust will gr(Jdually expond the number of concerts and theatrical productions it hosts and provide for meetings of community groups. As ever, this exponsion of (Ktivities will draw on the community of local volunteers.

COPPED HALL fRIJST-TRUSTKES' ANNUALRI-.I?ORT FOR THE YEAR ÈNDED 31 DECIMBER 2074 a short-term pertod for the ongoing restorotlon of the Trust property in accordance with the Trust's 5-year plan in furtherance of the Trust's charituble objects. The principal focus of the Trust's current investment policy is therefore capital preservotion ot on acceptable level of risk. The Trust hos currently no pemionent endowment though. were it to recelve one, the policy would be omended to consider for thcrt element of our investments on appropriate return strategy but consistent with the overall objectlve of copitol preservation. In the context of the overall financiol position of the Trust. for the foreseeoble future. the inve5trnent policy for those investments hekl in support of the Trnsvs re5erve5 policy will also be eonsi5tent with that for bequests ond donations. though the financial instruments held for this element of the overall investments held. is expected to be wider reflecting o longer-term view thut would be appropriote. The expectation 15 therefore that for the short term, the great majority of investrnents will be held in cash or liquid money morket funds diversified to ensure copital preservotlon but seeking the best retum consistent with such a policy. To uchieve these overall objectives the Trust will apFK•int an investment adviser in respect of the total investrnents held. and the mandote given to this odviser will include, wherever opplieable. consideration of environmental. social ond governan factors. Our project occupies some 30 acres In the mlddle of 1.000 acres of lond5caped parkland ond previously working fami. The 1,000 acres compFises numerous ownership$. We re9ard it a5 essential that we are on good terms with all t owners. including the City ot London who own over 800 ocres of the porklond. Regulor meetings and correspondence are vital in this regord ond thi5 will be developed further In the comlng years. As the StOrOt10n of Copped Holl and it5 gordens proceed. it is hoped thot the restoration of key feotures in the Parkland wlll follow. The monsion and parkland were origlnolly concelved as one inter-related entity ond we should like that their future con be seen as such. The Trust plans - To install solar panels for the gerteration of electricity within the ground5 and. with a specialist consultant, to investigote further 8round source heating for the mansion. To create an 'oUteLcIIe, ol key supporters who o¢t os ombassodors to the Trust. Members of the Outer Circle would be a pool from which new trustees and team leoders moy be drown.
