As promised, I have been in touch with the House Team at Chartwell and they confirm that there is little relating to butterflies (aside from the Butterfly House in the garden that I omitted to mention) either on display or in the archives in the House itself at Chartwell.
This is the response I received.. "Sadly we have very little in the collection that relates to butterflies, there is a small identification book on his desk and a photographic image of a butterfly in store but other than that I have not seen any other pieces. I fear it may have been a bit of artistic licence on the part of the film crew, but there is still occasional talk about his collection but no one has ever pinned it down to a location (forgive the phrase!)." I trust this information is of interest. If anyone would like more information about the history of the Butterfly House I can provide this, either to the Group or PM. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Riddle Chartwell Volunteer Room & Garden Steward e-Mail: [email protected] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
