Geocache Description:





This is an adventure lab bonus cache so you will need to complete the adventure before you can get the coords for this one.






The silk industry brought enormous wealth to the Courtauld family and they used this to endow buildings, schools, parks and gardens through Braintree and the Essex district during the 19th – 20th century. This included Manor Street School, which the museum is housed in, William Julien Courtauld Hospital and Braintree Town Hall. The cloth trade was crucial to Braintree’s development and prosperity in the 19th century.


The Courtaulds were known for being non-conformists and this can be particularly seen in their concern for social justice. The Courtauld’s built not only houses for their workers but were also one of the first companies in the country to employ a nurse and fund a crèche for working mothers. Samuel Courtauld IV is known for setting up a Trust to allow the Tate Gallery, London, to purchase works by 19th century French painters. In addition he gave his own collection of post-impressionist art to the University of London and endowed the Courtauld Institute for the study of Art History
