452 Adrian HulewiczI feel that now that the farm has been renovated it should be for the benefit of the town. Once the farm is sold we can never get it back, and all it will become is another housing estate which Witney has plenty of already. It is a unique site which has been there since the 12th century and it's a priviledge to be able to enjoy it.
453 Susanne hulewiczI have 2 children of 8 and 10. They said that they like Cogges farm because there is always interesting things to do and to see like the easter egg hunt and making butter. They also said that they like the donkey and sseing how people in the past lived. For my part it makes this area a beautiful place to live and it has calmness about it, and a feeling of a slower pace of life. I think that it is a valuable asset to Witney.
454 AnonymousAs a parent living in Cogges, I think the Cogges Manor Farm Museum is a valuable resource for families in Witney, and should continue to receive financial support in order to remain open

465 Matt WaiteI grew up with Cogges Manor Farm spending summers there whilst my Mum had painting classes around the farm. I went there with every school I was part of, and it's part of Witney heritage. Surely Mr Cameron can sacrifice buying new model Range Rovers to follow him round whilst he cycles in order for Cogges to outlast him?

493 naomi kanetsukacogges manor farm is one of the few 'living' pieces of history that oxfordshire has that has not been turned into a hotel or similar, and is loved not just by the locals but by tourists and friends from much further afield. Having spent a couple of seasons working there I can see that however historical/educational a place it is it's not the kind of place that will make the council millions....unfortunately many of the great ideas had by staff and visitors alike have to be dismissed down to the dreaded 'health and safety' issues. Is there any way possible horse and cart rides inc learning how to harness the horse, the public having a go at milking the cows and making butter themselves, victorian cookery lessons where the visitors can get their hands in there too....the list is endless! had my rant now, good luck to cogges and all its loyal staff and visitors!

496 Claire SamuelI have many very fond childhood memories of cogges farm museum, and would be devastated to hear of it's closure. The site is a valuable educational resource for the local community as well as attracting tourism to the witney area - the future of the manor/farm should be safeguarded and I'm shocked to think that the council is even considering removal of funding for this local piece of living history.

498 amanda darkCogges can't close!! It's an institution. I live in Australia now but on each trip home I take my daughter there for a great day out. I couldn't tell you how many times I went there with my school over the years. Please keep it open!!
