Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A CHANCE has come up to buy a country house designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens, one of Britain's greatest architects, for what sounds like a very reasonable pounds 450,000 - reasonable given that this is a great Arts and Crafts house within striking distance of central London. Woolverstone House, on the river Orwell in Suffolk, is a large red brick building, with great chimneys and deep eaves, that surrounds a central courtyard. The only snag is that for many years it has been a boarding school for boys: instead of grand bedrooms, there are 17 dormitories, and the stairs are covered in lino. The sale is being handled by Smith-Woolley, of Cambridge (0223 352566).
