About Chartwell

Winston and Clementine Churchill bought Chartwell in 1922; it would be their family home for the next forty years.

Winston loved Chartwell. Here Churchill was a politician and statesman but also a husband, father, writer, painter and garden planner. It remained important to him until his death in 1965. The rooms in the house remain much as they were when he lived here, with pictures, books and personal mementoes while a special exhibition gives deeper insight into his life through 50 objects.
