Chartwell

Chartwell is the home of Winston Churchill, donated to the National Trust by his wife Clementine after his death and turned into a museum. The interiors have been preserved as if the previous inhabitants still lived there. There are original furniture and numerous memorabilia after the premiere, including paintings by him and decorations he received. Since 1966, the house and the adjacent garden have been open to the public.

The house was built in the 16th or 17th century. It is said that Henry VIII was here occasionally when he visited Annie Boleyn at nearby Hever Castle. The architecture of the house has preserved elements typical of the Tudor style, despite the fact that the building has undergone several major renovations and reconstructions over the years.

Originally, until about the 16th century, the buildings in this area were called Well Street. Its current name comes from the Chart Well spring located north of the estate.
