These greenhouses are in a very poor state and will probably fall apart due to lack of funds

Epping Upland

A small "B" road zigzags through this hamlet and I'm sure that this is the view that most people see. The photo was taken by the memorial gate of the churchyard and there is a manor, moat, war memorial and a rather inaccessible pond.

Epping Green village

This is the (mostly) new village of Epping Green, which seems to be getting newer all the time. Nearby is Epping Long Green itself, older by far.

Copped Hall, Crown Hill, Epping

Copped Hall is a burnt-out shell of a fine Georgian mansion – superbly sited on a ridge overlooking its landscaped parkland. The mansion is visible from the M25 which passes through a corner of the park. The mansion and gardens are situated on a site of ancient human habitation. Important buildings were demolished when the present mansion was built. From 1986-1995 a campaign was successfully fought by a few dedicated individuals against repeated large scale aggressive development proposals for the mansion and parkland. Three of these individuals set up the Copped Hall Trust – which finally saved the mansion and gardens by purchasing them in 1995. The Corporation of London had already saved the surrounding parkland by purchasing it in 1992. The main aim of the Trust is to permanently protect the site, to carefully restore Copped Hall and its gardens for educational and community benefit. Copped Hall and its gardens are strictly private but can be visited by appointment and on specific days.
