Chartwell's Garden Secrets with Advolly Richmond and Katherine Carter
Episode notes
Winston Churchill resided in his country home, Chartwell, from 1924 until his death in 1965. From its valley setting, with views of the Weald of Kent, much was made of the terraced gardens which overlook a lake and a brick wall, built by Churchill himself, but what role did the gardens play in the lead up to World War Two? Advolly Richmond talks to Chartwell’s curator and author Katherine Carter to reveal meetings that took place in the gardens that might have changed the course of history.
