The Shuttleworth Trust
The Shuttleworth Trust is a charitable organisation set up by Dorothy Shuttleworth following the death of her son, Richard, in a flying accident in 1940. The purpose of the Trust was to promote Richard’s interests in agriculture and aviation, and today visitors can enjoy access to a collection of vintage aircraft, the restored Swiss Garden and the House.
