Lovely house. But those National Trust polo shirts will *not* do. Poirot would be appalled.

I saw an article in Antiqyes magazine when Greenways was first gifted to the NT certsin items were sold one being a box type kist sold for 100 pounds inside a metal box was found and it rattled when shake. People said to the owner you must see what is inside. Eventually, the box was opened by a professional and a diamond broock and diamond ring was found which is believed belonged to Agatha. What the final outcome of where the two pieces ended up i have never found out.

The national trust have now withdrawn concessions required by primary legislation for the 1.8 circa severely disabled and blind who wish to visit these national heritage houses. The national trust was originally set up to allow access for the nation of the national heritage.Recent years they have taken on too many liabilities and have seen a drop in numbers of visitors to the sites. This as a trust gets tax exceptions for the public good the trust brings to all UK citizens. It is argued that they exclude the poorest in society and ignore primary legislation for access of the severely disabled they are in breach of their charity status. They are effectively a commercial organization which no longer qualify for taxpayer exemptions as a trust. The choice to the organization is to comply with the legal rules concerning the status of a trust and concessions.Or simply change their tax status to a commercial organization and pay full corporation tax.There are believed to be some twenty percent of charities who are commercial organizations in the UK sheltering as charities which are in fact commercial organizations. The voters are up in arms about this change and want the charitable status withdrawn immediately and full corporation tax paid to the treasury as a result.

Hello Dr Peter Jones. The National Trust is continually working to improve access to our places for people of all abilities, including offering discounted and free entry to assist people who need extra support. Our Essential Companion card allows disabled visitors or members to bring up to two carers or companions in to our places free of charge while the Links Pass for groups gives half-price entry to groups affiliated with disability charities, day centres, or registered care homes. Carers or companions with the group are welcome free of charge. We are also continually increasing the number of our places that offer changing facilities, lifts, powered mobility vehicles, mountain trikes and audio support. All of our places offer dedicated parking for blue badge holders and we’ve partnered with the Alzheimer’s Society on an ambitious collaboration to make all 500 National Trust historic and countryside sites dementia-friendly. You can find out more about accessing our places here: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/features/access-for-everyone and this information is available in alternative formats by calling 0344 800 1895.

I visited in June, after a break of 8 years, and they no longer do the discount for arriving by 'green ways'. I don't really know what the NT stands for any more, other than making as much money as possible.
