Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill is the eldest daughter of the 11th Duke of Marlborough, whose family home is the iconic Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. After studying at the Inchbald School of Design, Henrietta founded Woodstock Designs in 1981, building a successful interior design company with global projects.
An international lecturer and author, Henrietta has conducted numerous lectures and book signings worldwide. She is also deeply involved in the restoration of Blenheim Palace and other family properties for renovation and letting. Blenheim Palace, considered one of the finest examples of Baroque architecture in Great Britain, holds a cherished place in English heritage.
In her book, BLENHEIM: 300 Years of Life in a Palace, Lady Henrietta offers an exclusive tour of Blenheim Palace, a country house in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, and the seat of the Dukes of Marlborough. Notably, it is the only non-royal, non-episcopal country house in England with the title of “palace.” Built between 1705 and 1722, it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987. Named after the 1704 Battle of Blenheim, the palace was initially a reward for John Churchill, the 1st Duke of Marlborough, following his military victories in the War of the Spanish Succession.
Designed in the rare and short-lived English Baroque style, Blenheim Palace is unique for its combined functions as a family home, mausoleum, and national monument. It is also famously the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill.
