Churchill at Chartwell

Justin Reash in conversation with Katherine Carter (NCLC event)
Katherine Carter
Join ICS Executive Director Justin Reash and Chartwell Property Curator Katherine Carter as they discuss the key role Churchill's family home plays in keeping his legacy alive.
Katherine Carter (MA, MRHistS, FRSA) is the Property Curator at Chartwell, National Trust, the former home of Sir Winston Churchill. Chartwell was the Churchills’ primary residence from 1924 until Winston’s death in 1965. For more than forty years his home was his sanctuary as well as his factory. It was the site of his phenomenal political and literary output, the inspiration for his paintbrush and the place so dear to him that he often remarked that ‘a day away from Chartwell is a day wasted’.
