Few homes in the UK have the grandeur and layered history of Blenheim Palace. From its tumultuous early days to the birth of Winston Churchill, Blenheim has stayed in one family’s hands for centuries. On this episode, Dan speaks with Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill, whose family looks after this resplendent country house. The two discuss her new book from Rizzoli, Blenheim: 300 Years of Life in a Palace, the inside story on Winston’s accidental birth there, and so much more.
