Woodstock and the Royal Park : Nine Hundred Years of History

This book celebrates the nine-hundredth anniversary of a stone wall around a royal park.

Today we know this Park as the UNESCO World Heritage site of Blenheim and the adjacent town as Woodstock.

The royal Manor House has long gone but the Park, although no longer royal, remains.

Monarchs from Alfred to Anne owned and walked on this stage but many of their actions here are not widely known.

They provide a series of snapshots of English history.

This opportunity has also been taken to explore the inuence of national events on the life of Woodstock, the Park and the seven surrounding demesne villages.
