Many of the Oxford travelers took a bus to Woodstock, home of magnificent Blenheim Palace, birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and home of the 11th Duke of Marlborough. This World Heritage Site houses the Blenheim tapestries a magnificent series, depicting the famous battles of the 1st Duke, Sir John Churchill, on whom the palace was bestowed as a gift from Queen Anne and a grateful nation, following victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704. The beauty and magnificence of the historic home set within its inspirational surroundings is like no other.
