Previously referred to as the ’roundabout’, in 2012 the Roundel was restored and turned into a beautiful water feature.
The late 1890s and early 1900s saw the Roundel at its finest, but the 21st century saw this garden feature in need of restoration and rejuvenation. In early 2012, the 11th Duke of Malborough, with the generous support of the USA Blenheim Foundation, undertook the task of restoring the Roundel. The statue was restored , and an ornamental pond was created with 12 water jets added to create additional splendour.
this looks very good. interesting link that you attached and i think it is a great idea to share the progress of restoration activities on the website.
I too, was interested to read about the history of the Roundel.
What a wonderful place to visit. The garden and the fountain and the mansion are wonderful. So is the picture of you, I know the feeling, time goes too fast…
Thank you
