The Royal Manor of Woodstock: Pleasure Palace and Doleful Prison

<p style="text-align:center;">This episode of The Tudor History & Travel Show takes us back to a misty Autumn day when I headed over to Blenheim Park and Palace in Oxfordshire. Today a fine baroque building stands on a site that was once home to The Royal Manor of Woodstock, a medieval and Tudor hunting park. The manor provided lodgings for royal progress, and was the site of Queen Elizabeth's imprisonment before her ascension to the throne. Join me as I explore the site of this lost royal palace. </p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">There is a blog page <a href='https://thetudortravelguide.com/2021/12/03/woodstock-manor-an-ancient-pleasure-palace-and-doleful-prison/'>here</a> detailing more about how the palace looked during the Tudor period and my surprising discovery related to the place of Elizabeth's imprisonment. </p> <p style="text-align:center;"> </p> <p style="text-align:center;">If you enjoyed this podcast and wish to support my work, why not consider becoming a patron of the show.
