The day will commence with a themed tour of of the house. The subject being - "The House That John Built" in reference to John Vanburgh who was the architect who commenced the project in 1705, but which took 25 years to complete. Much reference in history to Blenheim has been told entirely by the men, but this tour will try to redress the balance through the eyes of the Ladies of Blenheim.
