For over 40 years, until his death in 1965, Chartwell was the much-loved home of Sir Winston Churchill, Britain’s Prime Minister during World War II. The rooms remain much as they were then, with pictures, books and mementoes evoking the career and wide-ranging interests of a great statesman, writer, painter and family man.

The hillside gardens reflect Sir Winston’s love of landscape and nature. A house has stood on the site since at least the 16th century and King Henry VIII is reputed to have stayed there during his courtship of Anne Boleyn.
