Visiting Chartwell

The Yank in Sussex and the British Bride visit Chartwell, Sir Winston Churchill’s famous home estate, Chartwell. On a recent visit to Kent, we dropped in for an afternoon and went exploring. Chartwell was the home of Winston and Clementine Churchill for over 40 years. It was given to the National Trust by the Churchills, and has been a favorite of visitors since that time.

How wonderful it was to discover a channel of actual tours - well prepared and lovingly presented. Such a difference to the soulless and, in fact, useless recordings of some people's walks - polluted with all sorts of nonsensical noise and bad quality recordings, which occupy a significant part of YouTube space. Many thank you for your great videos!

Very nicely done another interesting video, learned a few more minor facts about Churchill too 👍

Very well documented, you certainly put a lot of time and effort into recording and producing this video. I live a few miles from Chartwell in Kent. Kent has been a major invasion point for centuries, and heavily fortified. Invaders or potential invaders include the Vikings, Romans, French, and Germans.

All the best
Dave.

Thanks so much for this interesting video. My late grandparents always kept a framed photo of Churchill in their hall. Chartwell grounds look so peaceful and must have been such a haven for him during his busy times including during WW11. I imagine him looking across the valley and thinking that this country could not possibly be given up. The ‘Yanks’of course were here later to help us. I was a small child then of course but schools then taught us to love our country. Times have changed but the beauty of Chartwell is still there. Once again Thank you.

Beautiful! On YT there is a short film of him feeding mealy worms to a Robin beside his much loved goldfish pond. Churchill was fond of animals, he was particularly fascinated by pigs. I think you will find that Chertwell was donated, not sold, to the National Trust. If you visit his birthplace, Blenheim Palace, his grave can be found in nearby Bladon churchyard.
