Today we're taking a visit to Blenhiem Palace, a magnificent country house located in Oxfordshire, England. 

It was built as a gift for John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough, from Queen Anne and the British Nation, in recognition of his victory at the Battle of Blenheim in 1704, during the War of Spanish succession. 

In this episode we learn why Blenheim Palace took two decades to complete, how the queen and her bestie fell out, and (most importantly) how to steal a toilet!
