Rowntree Political Connections & Influences

Rowntree Political Connections & Influences

In 2025 we are starting a project about Rowntree Political Connections and Influences. This built on our ‘New Rowntree Histories‘ project from 2022.

  • The first part of the project involved researching the trade unions at Rowntree’s in the 1920s – you can find out more here.
  • The next part will of the project will explore the Rowntree family’s newspaper ownership in the early 20th century.  You can read about some of our findings here and book free tickets for our event exploring the Rowntree’s newspaper ownership here.
