Recently we have received £6,250 towards the first floor landing of the stone staircase. We are immensely grateful for these donations which contribute substantially to our great project and are proof to us that we were right to save Copped Hall for the Community.

AUTUMN TASK LIST
It has been suggested to us, that rather than general appeals for volunteers, we provide a list of specific limited tasks that may encourage people to feel more inclined to offer their services. An initial list of such tasks is provided below:
- Clear the brambles from the change in level slope between the Upper Great Lawn and the Lower Great lawn. Then dig out the roots.
- Strip the peeling paint of the Orchid House. Lead based paints stay on teak but modern paints do not.
- Undertake to regularly mow the South Front Garden lawn. This is a small defined area beside the mansion that is important to keep presentable.
- To regularly spray the paths on the South Lower Terrace to keep them weed free.
