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.
Trust s report detailed links between 93 properties and slavery and colonialism
Winston Churchill s former home, Chartwell, in Kent, was on the list
Move prompted a fierce backlash and the trust faced accusations of wokeism
But Charity Commission today cleared it of breaking charity law
Brexiteer Nigel Farage said he had become increasingly appalled by the trust
Historian Simon Heffer said he was astonished the trust had not been censured
The academic behind the National Trust s Woke review to identify properties with links to colonialism today astonishingly accused the government of weaponising history by trying to stop Left-wing academics denigrating Britain s past.
The study, which blacklisted - among others - the Lake District home of avid anti-slaver William Wordsworth because his brother was involved in the trade, was accused of re-writing history after assembling a team of left-wing and politically biased experts.
Its leader, Professor Corinne Fowler, spoke today as Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden prepared to use a meeting with 25 heritage organisations to urge them to adopt a rounded view of Britain s past that does not focus excessively on the empire.

It s no secret that allopathic physicians have long viewed chiropractors with suspicion. But the lengths to which the physicians biggest professional organization, the American Medical Association, once went to deprive chiropractors of their livelihoods and destroy the profession might surprise many today.
Until a group of chiropractors sued on antitrust grounds, finally winning their case in 1990, the AMA had spent decades enjoining its members from having anything to do with chiropractors. The group s ethical principles stated that physicians should never refer patients to chiropractors, nor even see patients who were under a chiropractor s care. Underpinning what became a dedicated office within the AMA was the belief that chiropractic was quackery, its practitioners charlatans even though patients recognized that chiropractors could often relieve back pain and other conditions that still frustrate allopathic physicians.
