Where is the home of Winston Churchill?

For over 40 years Winston Churchill made Chartwell House in Westerham, Kent his home. The National Trust has looked after this property since 1947 ( even though Winston and Clementine were still living there) and opened it to the public in 1966 following his death. With a 7 million pound renovation in 2017 the house is now in stunning condition and the grounds and simply beautiful. Little wonder that this is now one of the most popular properties they maintain.

Join us as we take a tour of the House, rooms, garden and studio. Littered with many artefacts, gifts and personal possessions from the family. See some of the uniforms, hats and costumes made famous by Churchill.

The Final Resting Place of Sir Winston Churchill

The final resting place of Sir Winston Churchill is in a quiet Oxfordshire village. But why is his final resting place there? Sir Winston Churchill was a wartime Prime Minister, and arguably one of the most influential people of the 20th Century.

Born in Blenheim Palace just a mile away, it was Churchill's wish to be buried with his mother and father. The grave of Winston Churchill is modest and unassuming, with no large elaborate memorial. In the shadows of St Martin’s Church, Bladon Winston rests with the rest of his family.
