More about this scene
The aptly named Woodstock Gate, one of the main entrances to Blenheim Palace, lies just around the corner. The view from the gate of the palace and its parkland is often described as the finest in England. Chaucer lived in the house which has shutters, and a circular window on the first floor.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My father came up from Wales to work at Blenheim as a youngster.He was born in 1922 and he started work as a teenager, I think. His first name was Edward, but as there was another already in post, so they called him by another name. Apparently the staff were responsible for taking him for his first pint! I do not know how long he was there, but he had tales of swimming in the lake, of the family going to Scotland leaving a skeleton staff with a deliciously full pantry. I wish I knew more!
