Donors to the New Wing of the Churchill Archives Centre

The New Wing of the Churchill Archives Centre was built and opened in 2002. It exists to house the papers of the Rt. Hon. Baroness Thatcher of Kesteven and to provide the Centre with the space to continue collecting important personal papers of the modern era. The names of the donors are commemorated in a band of Portland stone carved by the Kindersley studio on the exterior of the New Wing. It reads as follows:
