Not that it’s possible to cover the history of Blenheim, I’m always hoping for something these ridiculous bits of nothing can’t deliver. I guess they’re meant to lure non-readers averse to real length historical documentaries into thinking they might like them if they put short ones out with a young nitwit who jumps around and puts cartoon bubbles next to animals and has the camera fixed on her for long intervals followed by 5 seconds actually showing the people who made this place famous. I’ve decided these nonentities are truly for people who want only to be entertained and not see something really special about a gorgeous palace, just a semi-attractive woman to entertain them. You can HAVE her.

The UK is just filled with so much fascinating history!👍👍

I am sorry but I could not find new words to describe how wonderful Alice Loxton is; I would be repeating what many others already said. She is a pleasure to watch and to listen to.

I really enjoy Alice's videos. Just the right mix of entertainment and historical information. Well done.

This video actually made me want to visit Blenheim Palace, and I'm from Italy! I love Alice, she's wonderful and presents things so well!

Not only is she wonderful, she’s smart and oh so beautiful. Her enthusiasm is right off the chart.

Thanks, Alice. Great tour. The exterior court was also used by Sir. Kenneth Branaugh for his adaptation of Hamlet. When my family and I toured Blenheim Palace in 2018 we had a wonderful guided tour who pointed out the exquisite tapestries. IIRC he said those had no equal except perhaps those at Hampton Court. He also pointed out the front doors which weigh 1 or 2 tons each. Then he also mentioned the gifts John Churchill received from the King of Bohemia (I think) following the victory, in the form of many crates (yes, crates) of Meisen pottery and dishes. Some of the dinner plates were on display in a room of their own.

The presenter mixing history and comedic beauty in such a wonderful way.

This was very well done, good pacing, good variation and decent set pieces with some fitting humour sprinkled through out.

@@davidjgill4902 I saw Easton Neston on “the country house revealed”, with Dan Cruickshank (and absolutely love that building). But wasn’t as familiar with the other two, so thanks.

Presentation is excellent especially the humour done with subtly and a dry wit. This has reminded me I need to revisit this incredible house which is on my doorstep and visit the cemetery too. Thanks Alice

Love Alice! What a character. So funny, engaging, and affable.

Alice does such a fantastic job presenting! Thank you!

This presenter is amazing, my favorite on the channel!

I absolutely LOVED receiving information and education from Alice!

I’ve been to Blenheim Palace, it’s amazing! Also, the small town of Woodstock is charming.

Our family love Blenheim Palace, especially the gardens. The kids love the train and the Butterfly House is beautiful. Perfect for a picnic and a row on the lake if the weather is nice. The house is impressive too.

After all who needs that ridiculous house when all the fun stuff is outside (:>) I knew of course this place was the Churchill family 'home', but had never seen the whole place, I'm not sure which is the most pompous 'home' of the era, there are so many of them in UK & France etc...all in competition with each other, and with zero concern over what their wealth could achieve for their suffering serfs ! I feel quite honored to be among those who understand the issue & can laugh at it all !

I have always enjoyed Blenheim. I have now, fallen in love with Alice. Truly the best Blenheim introduction ever made.

ALICE LOXTON… a young, more enthusiastic and more fun version of Mary Beard…. !!! Very good, enthusiastic presenter, makes you want to go see these places. Never seen Alice before but she’s certainly one if my favorite presenters now !

We just returned from England and visited Blenheim. Great job summing up its unique and special history.

I think Alice had a hoot filming this show! ;-) I loved Blenheim. It's my favorite palace/castle in England.

Alice at the palice, another fun quirky presentation from the ever watchful Miss Loxton. Bring on the next one.

This is possibly the best palace/castle that we visited in the UK. Lovely presenter!!

its absurd you can hardly find good history productions on TV when you have incredible channels like this presenting highly informative and entertaining content you can watch at any time for free. thank you so much for the time, effort, and talent to put great videos like this together

More of this!! Lots lots more of this!! Go to every old house in the country, do them all!!

My favorite part was how comfortable our hostess is with the animals!❤

Probably one of if not the most magnificent places I've had the privilege to visit. Alice the hostess is awesome. Hope to see more of her.

Just when I’ve thought I’ve see all the elaborate properties, I’m being shown another bit of history. Awesome.

There's an old Rose called Rosa Mundi a striped sport of the Apothecary's Rose named after fair Rosamund.

Ms. Loxton is a marvelous presenter -- not the least bit dry or stuffy, love her sense of humor. I believe the exterior of Blenheim was also used in Kenneth Brannagh's movie version of Hamlet.

I want to watch some more videos with her.. She's a great teacher

Alice is awesome. She does such a good job presenting. A natural.

I love history. I love history even more when it's presented in an unstuffy manner! Great presentation!

From what I understand, the spaniels associated with the Stuarts found respite there in their exile from the public eye. John Churchill breed the dogs. The common coloration of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel is called the Blenheim with when a special mark is seen at the forehead is called the Blenheim Star.

Ayyy I suggested this in the last video… cheers history hit, best history channel!

I would love to visit there big fan of Winnie to malbourough. From nyc USA

Alice is brilliant!

Alice!!!! Absolutely one of my all time favorite presenters. Most excellent content. I can not get enough of these type of programs.

Get this lady seen. Her style and enthusiasm could infect🇬🇧👍🏻 In a nice way.

The house is amazing, but the grounds are stunning in summer, especially the walk along the lake and past the waterfall

Alice you made this story come alive thank you!! Congratulations!!

I went to England a few years ago and took a very lovely walk with my wife of the gardens after touring the house and there is a wonderful trellis tunnel that we got super baked in. Great day.

She reminds me of Mary Beard, wish her every success

The enthusiasm Alice has is infectious. she is fantastic. 🍸

I thoroughly enjoy episodes with Alice Loxton presenting. Enjoyable & entertaining, with some chuckles. 10 out of 10. I am curious.. did the crew go back and rumble with the baabaa after filming? Those baby baabaas were adorable. 🐑🐑🐑

Alice Loxton has indeed presented this feature program showcasing Blenheim palace with sheer enthusiasm and joy!, Loved It #HH TV👍

Fantastic history of a most glorious palace. I can't wait to visit one day! Thank you so much! 😊💜👍🇨🇦

This was just great! Quite entertaining! Full of quotes, comedy, and history! Ty for the upload! Keep Ms. Loxton! She is just awesome!😉

Alice is a lovely presenter. :)

Glad to see her finally. She's so funny and cute.

She always does such fun presentations. Love it.

Great work Alice. More please!

Good job. I’m from Woodstock, Ontario Canada. Our old town hall, now a museum, is a replica of the one in the UK. has a dome, Georgian I think.

What a fun and energetic presenter.. wonderful tour of beautiful Bleinhem

Loxton, Alice Loxton, does an excellent job creating entertaining videos.

First time seeing Alice outside of the promos! Quality content!

Amazing. Visited many moons ago. Didn't see you here sadly. Brilliant presentation x

The chapter of "Buccaneer" Consuelo Vanderbilt is missing. Her money helped save the Palace and the family's honor...

Love Winston, he is such an inspiration. We need more of him around!!!!

Love the video. And loved Alice! I was cracking up ❤️

The Annual Register of 1825 is a personal fave too

What a blessing!This presenter is an absolute treasure!!!

She is amazing 😻

Alice…what a joy to watch and listen to

I liked this alot, but do wish you would have at least mentioned, Consuelo Vanderbilt, the 9th duke's first wife. For without her millions, who knows what would have happened to Blenheim. Her money brought it back to it's former splendor and the Duke was able to put in the lovely gardens he had envisioned. Plumbing was updated, bathrooms put in, and a the grand staircase installed. Not to mention that she provided 2 heirs to the Dukedom. She certainly left more of a mark on Blenheim than the second wife did. The second wife, was said to have ruined the valuable Turkish rugs by breeding and keeping her many dogs in the grand foyer. The Duke was so put out with her that he left. And when he couldn't get her to leave, he dismissed the staff. Then the cut electrity and heat. In the end she was living among the filth of the dogs and cooking her meals on a burner stove ,wearing her fur coat for warmth. She finally left and the Duke was able to get his home back.

Alice is knowledgeable and has a great personality.

Those sphinxes are super creepy.

What fun. Great hostess, interesting videos. As for the Palace, great place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there.

Hello there from Australia! 🇦🇺 🌏🦘 This video just showed up in my feed and I’m glad it did. You made it so very interesting and fun to watch. I love your way of presenting. It really tickled my sense of humour. I can’t wait to see what other ones you have done! Keep up the great work and your sense of humour. ❤

Alice is an asset to your channel.

I agree that it was built for show. Nothing about the public room speak comfort.

Amazing video. Love the way it is presented - and your suit, Alice.

Legs that go on for miles, more impressed and enthralled by the visuals than the information within ❤

Incredibly entertaining bit of history. Well played, Alice. Well played indeed!
