Cogges Manor Farm MuseumDuring the 16th century the manor passed through various owners.[4] One of them altered the mediaeval hall by inserting a first floor and adding a new, higher roof.[3] The Blake family bought the manor in 1667 and added the current second wing to the house.[5] In 1726 Daniel Blake sold Cogges Manor Farm to Simon Harcourt, 1st Viscount Harcourt.[5] The Harcourt family leased out Cogges Manor Farm until 1919, when the then tenants, the Mawle family, bought the freehold.[5] In 1974 Oxfordshire County Council bought Coges Manor Farm and converted the house and farmstead into a museum.[5] There is a display of the history of the Manor House on the first floor.WitneyWitney has been famous for its woollen blankets since the Middle Ages.[17] The water for the production of these blankets is drawn from the River Windrush, which was believed to be the secret of Witney's high quality blankets. The Blanket Hall in High Street was built in 1721 for weighing and measuring blankets.[5] At one time there were five blanket factories in the town but with the closure of the largest blanket maker, In 2002, Early's, the town's blanket industry, completely ceased production. Early's factory, once a vital and important part of the town's history, has now been demolished, and is the site of several new housing estates. Witney United FC retains its nickname "The Blanketmen" from the town's traditional trade.Badgeworth SSSI, GloucestershireIt is one of only two sites in Britain where the Adder's-tongue Spearwort (Ranunculus ophioglossifolius) occurs; in Gloucestershire this species has acquired the name "Badgeworth buttercup" through its association with this site.Cheltenham Town HallThe main hall, with Corinthian columns and coved ceiling, measures 92 feet (28 m) x 52 feet and is 53 feet (16 m) high, with a capacity of 1,000 people. There are other smaller rooms, and to the left of the entrance hall, the Central Spa dispenses the waters from all the pump rooms of Cheltenham Spa. The octagonal counter and urns, which are of Doulton ware, are still in use.Government Communications HeadquartersA controversial GCHQ case determined the scope of judicial review of prerogative powers (the Crown's residual powers under common law). This was Council of Civil Service Unions v Minister for the Civil Service [1985] AC 374 (often known simply as the "GCHQ case"). In this case, a prerogative Order in Council had been used by the prime minister (who is the Minister for the Civil Service) to ban trade union activities by civil servants working at GCHQ. This order was issued without consultation. The House of Lords had to decide whether this was reviewable by judicial review. It was held that executive action is not immune from judicial review simply because it uses powers derived from common law rather than statute (thus the prerogative is reviewable). Controversially, they also held that although the failure to consult was unfair, this was overridden by concerns of national security.Information by Wikipedia.com
