Chartwell of course being the home of Sir Winston Churchill now managed by the National Trust.
Winston was a prolific oil painter. Subjects included many of his beloved Chartwell Grounds, Portraits, Places of interest from his visits around the world & Paintings from photographs. Was very much a hands on man having spent labouring hours digging out the lake, building the wall surrounding the gardens, building a child's house and planning/designing the grounds.
This of course on top of his Government commitments.
The house and grounds are simply stunning, even if you have no interest in Sir Winston, the grounds alone are worth a visit.
