Delve into our history

125 years of the National Trust in the East of England

2020 is the 125th anniversary of the National Trust and as we celebrate this special birthday year, we’re also taking the opportunity to look back at where it all began. Here are some of the key moments in our history of caring for special places, in East Anglia.

East Anglia at War

During the Second World War, East Anglia and it's close proximity to Europe, played a vital role in the war effort. The region became home to over 350,000 American air force personnel, country houses were requisitioned and our coast was used in the preparations for the D-Day landings.
