Children's Conference 2018

On 16th November we held our first 'Children's Conference' at the Church of St James the Greater in Leicester. Teachers, historians and National Trust staff & volunteers heard about four National Trust houses with connections to the British Empire.

40 primary school children from Wheelers Lane Primary and Colmore Junior School presented on the colonial connections of Kedleston Hall, Charlecote Park, Wightwick Manor and Calke Abbey.

Comments from some of the children at the conference:
