Book Signing – Lyndsey Guy and Claire Fletcher

Join us in the Chartwell gift shop to meet the author and illustrator of ‘The Story of Jock VII of Chartwell’.

  • Booking not needed

Since the National Trust opened the house to the public in 1966, the family of Sir Winston Churchill requested that there always be ‘a marmalade cat named Jock, with a white bib and four white socks, in comfortable residence at Chartwell’.

Discover the delightful tale of Jock VII and those who came before him at this special book signing event taking place in the gift shop at Chartwell.
