Blenheim Palace will call their Indian Room the Summer Terrace Room during a new exhibition on Sir Winston Churchill 'to avoid colonial connotations'.
Bosses at the country house in Woodstock, Oxfordshire, will use the alternative name for the show on the UK's greatest prime minister.
They said they 'didn't want to provoke controversy' and wanted to make it 'more accessible' following calls to reassess Britain's past.
But the palace later issued a statement saying it was due to the Indian Room being in a part of the house known as the Summer Terraces.
