Churchill’s working life

The Chartwell Years

Chartwell was not only a family home but also the centre of Churchill’s working life for some forty four years, both as “the factory” for his writing and a place where he entertained a wide circle of influential friends. The Chartwell Years illustrates Churchill’s life there.

The exhibition used Churchill’s words and those of his family and close associates to reveal something of this complex individual, as well as the history he helped to shape.

Located in the old kitchens, the exhibition supports the tour around Chartwell and follows Churchill’s life through tumultuous world events. This is set against a background of an English lifestyle and outlook culture that few would recognise today.
