Blenheim Palace.
"Blenheim Palace
was erected at the charge of the British nation; and
with the concurrence of Parliament, was bestowed, together
with the Manor of Woodstock, upon John, Duke
of Marlborough by his royal mistress. Queen Anne,
in acknowledgment of the eminent services of that
illustrious commander, especially in the brilliant
and successful battle fought on the banks of the
Danube, near the Village of Blenheim, from which
the palace derives its name."
