Winston Churchill is one of the best-known and most revered figures of our time, the man who led Britain through its 'darkest hour'. This Elizabethan manor - cared for by the National Trust today - was his inspiration, his refuge and his obsession. The last year alone has seen two feature films of his life.Many books have been published about his life and work, but very few have looked at his life through the prism of the house he occupied for over 40 years.Chartwell is as fundamental to understanding Churchill as Hill Top is to Beatrix Potter.
Later he built a wall around the garden and several buildings by hand. He had to rebuild the property almost from scratch after he bought it in 1922, spending money he could ill afford. 'A day away from Chartwell is a day wasted, ' he once said.
