Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, Oxfordshire . The land was gifted to the 1st Duke of Marlborough to build a palace on, as was a large sum of money. The house wasn’t finished when he died but his widow, Sarah Churchill (‘favourite’ of Queen Anne) completed it in his memory. . You can watch my interview with Antonia Keaney, a historian and curator at Blenheim Palace on my YouTube channel Youtube.com/BritishHistory talking about the Palace, Sarah Churchill and Sarah’s relationship with the Queen. . . .
