Chartwell, nestled in the lush Kent countryside of England, stands as a testament to the life and legacy of Sir Winston Churchill. This historic house, which was Churchill's beloved family home from 1922 until his death in 1965, has been meticulously preserved and is now under the care of the National Trust. Visitors to Chartwell can explore the rooms where Churchill wrote, painted, and spent time with his family, offering a unique glimpse into the private world of a man who was a pivotal figure in British history. The gardens, designed by Churchill himself, are as much a part of his legacy as the house, with beautiful landscapes and views that inspired his creativity and provided solace during turbulent times. The studio within the grounds holds many of his original paintings, revealing another facet of Churchill's immense talent. Chartwell is not just a historical site; it's a journey into the personal life of a leader whose decisions shaped the modern world. It's a place where history is tangible, and the spirit of determination and resilience is palpable in every corner. For those interested in British history, architecture, or the life of Winston Churchill, a visit to Chartwell offers an enriching and profound experience.

Chartwell is a country house near Westerham, Kent, in South East England. For over forty years it was the home of Winston Churchill. He bought the property in September 1922 and lived there until shortly before his death in January 1965. In the 1930s, when Churchill was out of political office, Chartwell became the centre of his world. At his dining table, he gathered those who could assist his campaign against German re-armament and the British government's response of appeasement; in his study, he composed speeches and wrote books; in his garden, he built walls, constructed lakes and painted. During the Second World War Chartwell was largely unused, the Churchills returning after he lost the 1945 election. In 1953, when again prime minister, the house became Churchill's refuge when he suffered a debilitating stroke. In October 1964, he left for the last time, dying at his London home, 28 Hyde Park Gate, on 24 January 1965.
Went for a wander around Chartwell (National Trust) this afternoon, and found 6 chairs for my NT chair project.
Anyone who has visited a National Trust property will know they don't like light! But if there is a light source, I am trying to include it, if I can. Thankfully, the little Olly Pen-F is great at keeping details in the shadows and highlights, which Lightroom can then find.
The other problem is that I can't move anything and I have to wait for other visitors to move along ... I'm not complaining about other people, coz I often stop and chat to them.
Took a visit to a National Trust Location.

Beautiful wildlife @ chartwell kent -
Greylag goose The ancestor of most domestic geese, the greylag is the largest and bulkiest of the wild geese native to the UK and Europe. In many parts of the UK it has been re-established by releasing birds in suitable areas, but the resulting flocks (often mixed with Canada geese) found around gravel pits, lakes and reservoirs all year round in southern Britain tend to be semi-tame and uninspiring. The native birds and wintering flocks found in Scotland retain the special appeal of truly wild geese

Chartwell, now a National Trust property, was the principal adult home of Sir Winston Churchill. Churchill and his wife Clementine bought the property, located two miles south of Westerham, Kent, England, in 1922. Extensive renovations simplifying and modernising the home were undertaken directly, completely transforming it when complete. Whilst not the most visually attractive of houses it has a lovely feel inside and the gardens are delightful. Reached #68 on Explore on 23 April 2013
Dahlias, which have been cultivated at Chartwell since the 1930s, offer vibrant early autumn colour, not only in the cut flower bed but also as part of the floral displays created by volunteers that adorn the house..
The gardens of Chartwell House were full of beautiful pastels. I must make a note to return next Spring!
