==Life and career==
Cockshott was born in Bristol and educated at Taunton School and the University of Bristol where he received his BA in English. He was a friend of and influenced by the composer Ralph Vaughan Williams with whom he studied privately. A Fellow of the Royal College of Organists, he primarily composed choral music, much of it influenced by the English folk tradition, but also composed two operas and several instrumental works.〔Britten, Benjamin; Mitchell, Donald and Reed, Philip (eds.) (2011). (''Letters from a Life Vol 2: 1939–45: Selected Letters and Diaries of Benjamin Britten'' ), p. 204. Faber & Faber. ISBN 0571265928〕
He had originally written the libretto for the chamber opera ''Apollo and Persephone'' for Vaughn Williams, but decided to compose the work himself before showing it to him. Vaughn Williams gave the work his blessing and it was premiered in London in 1954 by the Intimate Opera Company. ''Apollo and Persephone'' went on to multiple performances in Europe and North America in the ensuing years.〔Anderson, Helen (1971). ''Making Music'', Issues 75–83〕〔Carter, James T. (2 April 1961).

From 1947 to 1964 Cockshott was the senior English master at Whittingehame College, a boarding school for Jewish boys in Brighton founded by the British Zionist Jacob Halevy. After leaving Whittingehame, he taught at Ifield Grammar School and later at Froebel College.〔Shanes, Eric (2000). (''Jake's Legacy: A History of Whittinghame College'' ), p. 133.
