Blenheim
Palace |
|
Although built in 1714
Blenheim Palace is probably most famous for
being the birth place of Sir Winston Churchill, born on the
30th November 1874 at 01.30am.
Even though this was not his official home he spent many happy
years here and in 1908 standing by the lake he proposed to his
wife, Miss Clementine Hozier. Part Blenheim Palace is dedicated
to a Winston Churchill exhibition, including his birth room, pictures
and statues.
Churchill and his wife are buried just outside Blenheim Palace
in a nearby churchyard at Bladon, beside his parents Lord and Lady Randolph Churchill.

Blenheim Palace
consists of many exciting rooms, like the Great Hall, Sallon
(which is a grand dining room with wonderful murals and
paintings by Louis Laguerre). There are three glamorous state
rooms, with an extremely long library.
During your visit to Blenheim Palace, take the time to visit
the gardens surrounding Blenheim Palace, which consist of a
tranquil Water Terrace along with the peaceful Italian Garden
and stunning Rose Garden.
