Blenheim Palace
Posted in Architecture, Trips at 12:00 on 17 December 2015
I mentioned in passing last year that we had visited Blenheim Palace on our way back from the Netherlands.
The Palace was in effect a gift from a grateful nation to John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough, in recognition of his military victories in the War of the Spanish Succession, though the money to build it soon ran out.
View from car park. This shows the side of the Palace:-
