[edit] POTENTIAL ERRORS

I spent a considerable amount of time touring Chartwell in 2005 and I believe I was informed that the home was purchased by admirers and friends of the Churchills at a point after WW ll, when Sir Winston was experiencing a mild case of the "shorts" and was not able to maintain the vast residence and grounds. I will check the litature I have but would like to hear other opinions. --Niloc 03:01, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes I belive this is the case. he was allowed to live there for the rest of his life and it was then given to the National Trust. Deben Dave 14:00, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

There is a plaque at chartwell that confirms this and, i believe, lists the friends involved. jackboy29
