A special talk will be held at Chartwell on 14 September 2026 at 11:00. The talk will be given by Nonie Chapman, who has worked closely with the Churchill family for over five decades. The talk is free to attend.
Join us for a special talk as Nonie Chapman reflects on more than five decades working closely with the Churchill family.
In April 1964, a 21-year-old Nonie stepped nervously over Chartwell’s threshold to begin a temporary role, one that would become a remarkable 50-year career. In this engaging and personal talk, Nonie shares first-hand stories from her time working for and alongside the Churchill family, travelling with Clementine Churchill, and later working for the Soames family.
Hear delightful anecdotes collected over decades of experiences, both the everyday and the not so ordinary!
Part of the Heritage Open Days Festival 2026 programme at Chartwell.
Spaces are limited so please book your free ticket early.
