September is the month in which Winston Churchill purchased Chartwell. First shown the derelict Chartwell Manor in July 1921, Churchill instantly fell in love with its magnificent views overlooking the Weald of Kent. When the house failed to sell at auction, Churchill pounced. Five days after his daughter Mary was born, on September 24, 1922, his new offer was accepted. The rest is Churchillian history… and, ultimately, our history too.

From his first day in charge, onwards to victory (on May 8, 1945, VE Day), Churchill’s resolution to inspire by appealing to the very best in those around him remains an object lesson in leadership. May is a good month to celebrate that leadership.
Celebrate with us.
