As I understand it, not as such. Some years ago I and others tried to find out what might exist at Blenheim. At the time I knew the then estate manager, who told me that a lot of documents of a historical nature had been thrown out to clear a room for other use. It sounded like records of interest to any of us, but they were gone. There was, I was told, no catalogue of anything remaining and no archivist (then at least). I know that the mill at Combe Mill was also cleared (as in, everything taken from what would have been my great grandfather's office) and put into a skip when the site was being expanded and redeveloped as a business park. Fortunately, a little was saved (the story goes) by being grabbed out of the skip and retained, and this is with the society that now runs the mill museum. The museum has a very good (volunteer) archivist and she (and others) is turning up some fascinating stuff overall which, I understand, will eventually find its way to the web for public viewing, but it's a long term project. I'm in contact with the group.
