Grateful there is such a deliberate effort to preserve a critical portion of history.
Sheldon did an excellent job sharing the highs and lows of Churchill’s career and then guided us through the War Rooms and other buildings in the area important to his career. I learned a lot and Sheldon’s enthusiasm for the topic is apparent.
