MONTEBELLO LOST TREASURE

BIRTHPLACE OF WINSTON CHURCHILL, BLENHEIM PALACE  

NATION’S tribute to one of her greatest soldiers is seen in Blenheim  

Palace, which was built for General John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough,  

as reward for his victory over the French and Bavarians at Blenheim in  

1704. He was granted, during the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714), quarter  

of million pounds with which to build for himself and his heirs the finest  

private palace in England. This great edifice, near Woodstock in Oxfordshire,  

stands in vast parkland of 2700 acres, in which there is an artificial lake,  

column of victory commemorating the great duke and trees which were planted  

in groups to form plan of the Battle of Blenheim. At this battle the  

French and Bavarians lost over 30,000 troops, while the allied English and  

Austrians lost only 12,000.  

The building of Blenheim Palace in the classical style began in 1705, to  

the designs of John Vanbrugh, the famous architect-dramatist, and was  

completed twenty years later by Hawksmoore. Vanbrugh built other great  

houses in England, all conceived on scale of lavish magnificence, but none  

to equal Blenheim. When he died the following epitaph was placed over the  

tomb of this ponderous architect:—  

Lie heavy on him, Earth, for he  

Laid many heavy load on thee.  

His skill is amply proclaimed by the grandeur of Blenheim Palace, the  

front of which is 348 feet in length. The vast central block with flanking  

courtyards was arranged to convey the greatest possible sense of size. The  

interior is no less magnificent, with its series of splendid state apartments  

where the walls are hung with crimson silk damask, others with rich tapestries  

and still others with great paintings by Rubens, Tintoretto, Velazquez, Frans  

Hals, Van Dyck, to name but few of the better known. In the State  

Dining Room, which is 60 feet high, the lower walls are of inlaid marble  

and the walls and ceiling above are painted with battle scenes and heroics,  

and the table is laid with its Victorian gold plate, as if for banquet.  

Blenheim was the scene of many state visits—of great banquets, balls and  

Royal shooting parties; it has now been opened to the -public on certain  

days of the week by John Spencer-Churchill, tenth Duke of Marlborough.  

It was at Blenheim Palace that Mr. Winston Churchill was born on November  

30, 1874,
