- Synopsis:
This series is a rare opportunity to explore five of Britain's finest stately homes. This is not just about some of the world's best-loved buildings, spectacular as they are; it is about the treasures within which tell a human story. In this programme The Duke of Marlborough talks to Selina Scott about Blenheim Palace, Oxfordshire, paid for by an Act of Parliament in 1705 as a grateful nation thanked its greatest warrior, John Churchill 1st Duke of Marlborough. Treasures include the tapestry which records the Battle of Blenheim in which Marlborough defeated the Franco-Bavarian forces in the War of the Spanish Succession. Winston Spencer Churchill, who was born at Blenheim in 1874, is buried in the park at the tiny church of Bladon. - Actors:
