The Marlborough family, Estate staff and even the Palace itself played a full and energetic part in the war effort.
This talk tells the story of how the Palace prepared for the worst, survived the onslaught of 400 boys evacuated to Blenheim and kept the secrets of MI5 – and how the war had an unexpected effect on the future of Britain’s ‘greatest palace’ – the effects of which are still being felt today.
