Summary |
The next step of Dr Jonathan Foyle's journey takes him to the epitome of the English stately home: Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. Built in the early 1700s as a reward for the Duke of Marlborough's defeat of King Louis XIV of France, it's one of the finest examples of English Baroque buildings in the country. With unprecedented access to Blenheim Palace, Jonathan scales the building to investigate the innovations and techniques used to construct it. (From the UK) (Documentary Series) G CC |
