Firefighters were called to Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire this evening to tackle a blaze that apparently when staff used a blowtorch to heat frozen pipes and, in so doing, set a bird’s nest alight. Thankfully it sounds like the damage to this impressive World Heritage Site has been minimal. If you haven’t previously been, a visit to Blenheim Palace should not be missed. It is an impressive building with accompanying gardens that were landscaped by Capability Brown.
