Pictures of Blenheim Palace, Stonehenge and Salisbury

Here are some pictures of Salisbury, Stonehenge and Blenheim Palace and some historic facts that may be of interest.  Below is a picture painted by Winston Churchill and it is his only self portrait but can you see him. 


Below is a picture of Stonehenge.  But did you know they had to drag the stones from Wales.  


Below is a picture of a flooded Salisbury Cathedral in 1915.  Did you know that Salisbury Cathedral has the tallest spire in Britain.  I believe Norwich Cathedral comes second.  Salisbury Cathedral is built on five rivers hence the flooding and did you know that they have to keep the foundations moist to maintain the stability of the building.
