The home of Sir Winston Churchill from 1924 until his death, Chartwell is still much as he left it, the rooms strongly evoking his career and wide interests. They include museum rooms with medals, uniforms, photographs and gifts from all over the world. An exhibition recalls Churchill's life. A studio in the garden contains many of his paintings and there is also a Golden Rose Walk, lakes, black swans, Oscar Nemon's statue of Sir Winston and Lady Churchill and his hand-built wall.
