We visited Knole, a vast estate built in the 1400's that has been in the Sackville family since 1603. The Sackville's gave the estate to the National Trust in 1946, with the caveat that they could remain on the property. Some of the family still lives there. The grounds of Knole are still home to the last medieval deer park in Europe. We took a tour of part of the house. There are 365 rooms!
Within a few minutes of leaving Knole, we arrived at Chartwell, Churchill's home for most
of his adult life. We toured his home and his studio, seeing many of his 537 paintings, awards,
gifts, family photos, and so much more. Papa has enjoyed reading about Churchill over the years
and we had a particularly memorable afternoon at Chartwell.
