ChartwellNT

"Very often he sat there for a long time... I must say that of all the places at Chartwell, this for me always evokes most strongly for me, the presence and memory of my father." - Lady Soames, Churchill’s youngest daughter, about the golden orfe pond at @ChartwellNT.

Happy #WorldBookDay! 📚 Here's me signing copies of Churchill's Citadel in the @ChartwellNT shop's stockroom. I have also inadvertently made a small fort.

What a day! It's been so rewarding to see the phenomenal press and media interest in our Churchill the Artist displays, including this wonderful painting of his from the 1920s, the era in which he bought Chartwell, on public display in the UK for the first time @ChartwellNT.✌️🎨

Today in the Daily Express, exciting news about our Churchill the Artist displays @ChartwellNT this year.✌️🎨 I'm also enjoying the one and only time in my life that I'll appear more prominently than Margot Robbie in a national newspaper. 😁

On @BBCNews today, being very excited about our new Churchill the Artist displays @ChartwellNT. ✌️🎨 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
