Suzanne Williams de la Rosa replaces Paul Evans as chair of Cogges Heritage Trust, overseeing Cogges Manor Farm.
The trust runs Cogges Manor Farm. It will reopen on February 15. Suzanne has been a trustee since 2021 already. She also has thirty years in heritage and museums.
Currently, she leads marketing at Oxford University. This covers their gardens, libraries, and museums. She’s excited to be the chair now and thinks it’s a great time for the trust.
Suzanne feels lucky to be at Cogges, a special heritage place. She believes it is great for Witney. Paul Evans quit as chair last November, but will stay as vice-chair. He will remain in that role until the end of 2025.
He said he loved supporting Cogges over the past three years and is happy to pass the job on, especially as Cogges enters a new phase. Cogges Manor Farm has won awards and has a house, farm, and animals. There is also a garden, orchard, meadow, playground and café.
