Blenheim Palace is set to introduce a new, permanent exhibition this month, aimed at exploring the stately home's 300-year history.

'The Blenheim Story' creates a layered timeline, allowing visitors to unearth the key individuals who played an integral role in constructing the palace.

Visitors will acquire detailed facts about the beginning stages of Blenheim Palace, from the birth of John Churchill in 1650, the First Duke of Marlborough, to the palace's completion more than 75 years later.

Furthermore, insightful details about their characters, significant historical moments and the impact of their interactions on British military history and the monarchy will be on display.

Kate Ballenger, keeper of palace and collections, said: "Known as ‘Britain’s Greatest Palace’, Blenheim Palace has a deep and fascinating 300-year history.

"We want all those who visit to know the reason why it was built, and the stories of all those that have lived in it over the years - and our new permanent exhibition will do just that.

"One of our aims is to keep the history of the palace alive, and shining a light on its illuminating past allows us to share this with all who visit, to enhance their experience."

The new exhibition will serve as a gateway to the palace's deep history, befittingly commencing inside the building itself.

Visitors will continue onto the Palace State Rooms, where the central figures of Blenheim Palace's history will resonate in various artefacts, including tapestries, portraits, ceilings and statues.
