Sir Richard Acland and his wife Ann. The MP Sir Richard Acland handed over to the National Trust the 16, 000 acres of beautiful West Country property which comprise his Killerton Estate and his Holnicote Estate. Sir Richards gift to the nation was followed by a letter to The Times by Lord Herbert, suggesting that the gift was an attempt by the donor to rid himself of the burden of his estate.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures Sir Richard Acland and his beloved wife Ann, taken in the mid-20th century. Sir Richard, a prominent MP, made headlines in 1944 when he generously donated two of his most cherished estates, Killerton and Holnicote, to the National Trust. The 16,000-acre West Country properties, renowned for their breathtaking landscapes and historical significance, were graciously handed over to safeguard their future for generations to come. The news of Sir Richard's gift was met with some controversy, as a letter to The Times, allegedly penned by Lord Herbert, suggested that the donor was attempting to rid himself of the burden of his estate. However, both the National Trust and Sir Richard himself swiftly refuted these claims, revealing that the MP stood to make a substantial profit of up to half a million pounds from his estate that very year. Despite the financial gains, Sir Richard's decision to donate his beloved estates to the National Trust was a testament to his commitment to preserving the natural beauty and historical significance of these treasured lands for the enjoyment of the public. This selfless act of philanthropy continues to inspire and resonate with visitors to Killerton and Holnicote Estates, who are able to appreciate the rich heritage and natural wonders that Sir Richard and his wife Ann held dear.
