Before becoming the home of Sir Winston Churchill, Chartwell was once a refuge for hundreds of young people.

Come and explore a brand-new family trail inspired by When I Grow Up I'd Like to Be..., then join me on 12 & 26 August for live Draw With Rob sessions. If you keep your eyes peeled, you might even spot my illustrated Winston Churchill along the trail!

Today marks 60 years since @ChartwellNT, the home of Winston and Clementine Churchill, first opened to the public. 🎉

"By the time I knew her, the first volume of her beauty was closed; but years afterwards she opened a second, when she suddenly decided to let hair, waist, complexion and everything go, and became in a day one of the most beautiful human beings I have seen."
Churchill's mother, Lady Randolph Churchill, as later recalled by Eddie Marsh

[Katherine Carter @katieculture]

"I had great anxiety and no means of relieving it; I had vehement convictions and small power to give effect to them... And then it was the Muse of Painting came to my rescue."
- Winston Churchill, 'Painting as a Pastime'

A smile-inducing headline for the Curator of the largest collection of Churchill paintings in the world, at @ChartwellNT. ☺️
