Churchill and his wife Clementine bought the property, located two miles south of Westerham, Kent, England, in 1922. Extensive renovations simplifying and modernising the home were undertaken directly, completely transforming it when complete. When it became clear to the Churchills in 1946 that they could not afford to run the property, a consortium of wealthy businessmen organised by Lord Camrose purchased the estate. The arrangement was that for payment of nominal rent both Sir Winston and Lady Churchill would have the right to live there until they both died, at which point the property would be presented to the National Trust.〔The National Trust, ''Chartwell'', 1992, p.32〕 When Sir Winston died in 1965, Clementine decided to present Chartwell to the National Trust immediately.〔Soames, M., ''Clementine Churchill'', Cassell, 1979, p.499〕 ==History== The site had been built upon at least as early as the 16th century, when the estate had been called 'Well Street'.〔The National Trust, ''Chartwell'', 1992, p.13〕 Henry VIII is reputed to have stayed in the house during his courtship of Anne Boleyn at nearby Hever Castle.〔The National Trust, ''Chartwell'', 1992, p.12〕 The original farmhouse was significantly enlarged and modified during the 19th century. It became, according to the National Trust, an example of 'Victorian architecture at its least attractive, a ponderous red-brick country mansion of tile-hung gables and poky oriel windows'.〔 The estate derives its name from the well to the north of the house called 'Chart Well'. 'Chart' is an Old English word for rough ground.〔Buczacki, Stefan, ''Churchill & Chartwell'', Francis Lincoln, 2007, p.105〕 The highest point of the estate is approximately 650 feet above sea level, and the house commands a spectacular view across the Weald of Kent. This view 'possessed Churchill' and was certainly an important factor in persuading him to buy a house of 'no great architectural merit'.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chartwell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
