Sunday Snap – Churchill's art studio

The trip to a snowy Peak District stumped everyone for last week's Sunday Snap. The photograph was taken at the back of the Chatsworth Estate Farm Shop and overlooks the land surrounding Chatsworth House, the ancestral home of the Dukes of Devonshire. Many of the past Dukes are buried in the church which is

St. Peter's Church, Edensor

Since this weekend marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Sir Winston Churchill I thought I would have a dig through the archives for something suitable. The unassuming building pictured above is of part of the building that houses Churchill's art studio. For much of his life Churchill suffered from clinical depression or his 'black dog' as he referred to it. For the record he was actually a cat lover. He used painting as a therapy and had this studio at his beloved family home. Churchill was such accomplished painter that after submitting some works to Royal Academy under a pseudonym they were accepted. This week's question is

Where is Churchill's art studio located?

Once again last week we were joined by Leyla from This day I love... and a tale of a day of two extremes – a trip to the dentist and a birthday date night!
