Some people say that the ancient Romans learned luxury, there are fame and wealth of the manor; the British see through industry, there are rural manor. The Churchill Manor we visited was built in 1705, when Queen Anne bestowed hundreds of hectares of royal hunting grounds near Oxford on the Duke of Marlboro I, John Churchill (Winston & Churchill's ancestors), in recognition of his Herculean victory over the French Army in August 1704. On the east gate of Churchill Manor stands the inscription - "The house was built for Duke John Madelow and his wife Sarah in the light of the generous monarch's luck. It was built by Mr. Wembler from 1705 to 1722. Woodstock's Royal Honour and the building were given by Her Majesty Anne and confirmed by Parliament. It took 17 years to complete the vast project, which resulted in the Duke's failure to see the palace in his lifetime. After we passed the huge arch of Churchill Manor, there was an open green lawn and an infinite blue sky. The grassy slope runs up and down on both sides, with a wide and tidy tunnel in the middle leading to the golden palace in front. In the magnificent hall is the ceiling painted by James Sandhill in 1716 - "unfolding in the order of war, showing Madelow's victory. Churchill Manor is the largest private house in Britain. The central building of Churchill Manor is the Branm Palace (in commemoration of the Battle of Branm). The palace is magnificently decorated and contains a large number of paintings, sculptures, tapestries and many exquisite furniture. In particular, the exquisite porcelain here is not from China. It's a gift from other countries. See the lemon mosaic technique in the picture. The long library was originally designed as a gallery, and this 55-meter room shows some of the best decorations in the palace. There are statues of Queen Anne, King William Mulberry Madeiro II and the first Duke Madeiro in the room. The English like to compare this idyllic manor with the largest Versailles Palace in Europe. By comparison, I think Versailles is more airy and more beautiful here. Everything here shows people the manor culture of England. Tired of the noise of industrial civilization, the British chose the country manor. Churchill Manor is enough to represent the British love of the manor. In this luxurious manor, a small train circles around the view, as if back to the 18th century in Britain. Everything here shows the manor culture of England.

    Immersed in the tranquil Oxfordshire countryside, Blenheim Palace is an exquisite fusion of historical grandeur, artistic mastery, and the enchanting embrace of nature. As the majestic Baroque edifice comes into view, you're welcomed by the whispering canopy of ancient trees, each one a silent guardian of history. Within its walls, the palace unfolds in a display of luxurious splendor. The State Rooms are a gallery of timeless elegance, showcasing ornate tapestries and portraits that capture the essence of life. The library, a sanctuary of wisdom, beckons with its collection of historic volumes. And the ground floor, with its Sleeping Beauty theme, offers an escape into a fairy-tale realm that transcends the bounds of mere architecture.

    Was incredibly disappointed & frustrated to find the state rooms have been taken over by a “fashion” exhibition and a load of shop dummies. Lots of stuff referred to in the guide removed to make room, lots of stuff obscured. Some of the “fashion” displays were vile and tacky frankly. Don’t know why they couldn’t stick it all in the stables or a marquee. However much Bicester village paid them to sponsor this monstrosity, it’s not enough.If you want to see the place for its splendour and histor
