There is Tory outrage as the Armada hero Elizabethan icon Sir Francis Drake is added to Parliament's "roll of shame" for artworks with slavery links from the 16th century.
Sir Francis Drake bought a former abbey that had already been made into a home. His descendants owned it until 1938 and it was then that it was gifted to the National Trust. It was lived in until 1938.
