(Photo: National Trust) CROOME COURT’S stunning gardens and halls attract visitors from across Worcestershire and beyond. Anyone who has visited will know that it is home to some stunning collections and artefacts, such as a collection of Vincennes, Sevres and Meissen porcelain and examples of George III furniture. The National Trust property is loaded with history and was once home to a range of notable characters such as the 6th Earl of Coventry, Maria Gunning and Barbara St John. However, not every aspect of the property’s history is positive and the property is just one of many National Trust sites with links to colonialism and racism.

The National Trust has ordered all of its volunteers to undergo diversity training as the organisation continues its woke rebrand.

The everyday inclusion training is run online alongside courses including fire safety and data protection.
National Trust members have launched a campaign against the charity s woke agenda as it was today accused of lecturing the public and demonising history.
Restore Trust was established following furious criticism of a report detailing links between 93 of the Trust s properties and historic slavery and colonialism.
The group, described as a forum where members can discuss their concerns about the future of the charity , says visitors should not leave venues feeling their history has been demonised .
They say there has been a relentless diminution of standards at the Trust and have accused the charity of patronising and lecturing the public, according to the Telegraph.
The company said in a statement that its shares were cancelled as of 7am on Thursday.
Shareholders were offered €5.75 a share in the take-private deal.
Applegreen’s shares made their stock market debut at €3.80 each in June 2015.
They traded as high as about €6.62, a level hit in September 2018, and sank to a low of €2.05 when the pandemic hit.
Applegreen – which has extensive operations in Ireland and a presence in the UK – is paving the road to a new future as a private company by expanding its activities in the United States.
The group has already significantly expanded its footprint there since it first entered the US market in 2014 and now has operations in a number of states along the eastern seaboard and also in Wisconsin and Minneapolis.
