Fix this textBIRTHPLACE OF WINSTON CHURCHILL, BLENHEIM PALACE
Fix this textA NATION’S tribute to one of her greatest soldiers is seen in Blenheim
Fix this textPalace, which was built for General John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough,
Fix this textas a reward for his victory over the French and Bavarians at Blenheim in
Fix this text1704. He was granted, during the reign of Queen Anne (1702-1714), a quarter
Fix this textof a million pounds with which to build for himself and his heirs the finest
Fix this textprivate palace in England. This great edifice, near Woodstock in Oxfordshire,
Fix this textstands in a vast parkland of 2700 acres, in which there is an artificial lake, a
Fix this textcolumn of victory commemorating the great duke and trees which were planted
Fix this textin groups to form a plan of the Battle of Blenheim. At this battle the
Fix this textFrench and Bavarians lost over 30,000 troops, while the allied English and
Fix this textAustrians lost only 12,000.
Fix this textThe building of Blenheim Palace in the classical style began in 1705, to
Fix this textthe designs of John Vanbrugh, the famous architect-dramatist, and was
Fix this textcompleted twenty years later by Hawksmoore. Vanbrugh built other great
Fix this texthouses in England, all conceived on a scale of lavish magnificence, but none
Fix this textto equal Blenheim. When he died the following epitaph was placed over the
Fix this texttomb of this ponderous architect:â€â€
Fix this textLie heavy on him, Earth, for he
Fix this textLaid many a heavy load on thee.
Fix this textHis skill is amply proclaimed by the grandeur of Blenheim Palace, the
Fix this textfront of which is 348 feet in length. The vast central block with flanking
Fix this textcourtyards was arranged to convey the greatest possible sense of size. The
Fix this textinterior is no less magnificent, with its series of splendid state apartments
Fix this textwhere the walls are hung with crimson silk damask, others with rich tapestries
Fix this textand still others with great paintings by Rubens, Tintoretto, Velazquez, Frans
Fix this textHals, Van Dyck, to name but a few of the better known. In the State
Fix this textDining Room, which is 60 feet high, the lower walls are of inlaid marble
Fix this textand the walls and ceiling above are painted with battle scenes and heroics,
Fix this textand the table is laid with its Victorian gold plate, as if for a banquet.
Fix this textBlenheim was the scene of many state visitsâ€â€of great banquets, balls and
Fix this textRoyal shooting parties; it has now been opened to the -public on certain
Fix this textdays of the week by John Spencer-Churchill, tenth Duke of Marlborough.
Fix this textIt was at Blenheim Palace that Mr. Winston Churchill was born on November
