Tim Parker's decision to quit was announced just 24 hours after a highly critical motion at this year's AGM said the membership had no confidence in his leadership and demanded his resignation.
Members, ministers and MPs had grown increasingly frustrated with Mr Parker's chairmanship, which critics said he used to take the 126-year-old charity in a 'politically correct' direction.
Last September, the Trust published an sensational 115-page report which 'blacklisted' 93 of its estates over their alleged links to slavery - including Chartwell in Kent, home of Sir Winston Churchill.

The heritage body is forcing everyone, including rangers who do not work with the public, to carry out the training as they return to work from lockdown.
It has already caused friction among volunteers and led to several resignations, with one slamming the Trust's new political 'agenda'.

Restore Trust was established following furious criticism of a report detailing links between 93 of the Trust's properties and historic slavery and colonialism.
The group, described as a forum where members can 'discuss their concerns about the future of the charity', says visitors should not leave venues feeling their history has been 'demonised'.
They say there has been a 'relentless diminution of standards' at the Trust and have accused the charity of 'patronising' and 'lecturing' the public, according to the Telegraph.
