Fix this textKNOLE HOUSE HAS A ROOM FOR EACH DAY IN THE YEAR
Fix this textHISTORIC Knole House, near Scvenoaks, in Kent, is regarded
Fix this textas an outstanding example of a great English baronial
Fix this textmansion, and in the spring of 1947, by the generosity of the present
Fix this textLord Sackville, it was given to the British nation for permanent
Fix this textpreservation through the National Trust.
Fix this textThe great rambling house, standing in 900 acres of parkland,
Fix this textcovers an area of four acres, is covered by seven acres of roof,
Fix this textcontains 365 rooms, 52 staircases' and seven courtyards. The
Fix this texthandsome battlemented gatehouse supported by square corner
Fix this texttowers is Tudor work, and the long flanking wings with graceful
Fix this textgables and regular groups of tall brick chimneys were added to the
Fix this texthouse by the first Earl of Dorset at the beginning of the 17th
Fix this textcentury. Knole was originally built in 1486 by Archbishop
Fix this textBourchier, and belonged to the Archbishops of Canterbury until
Fix this textCranmer resigned it to Henry VIII. It came into the Sackville
Fix this textfamily in June, 1566, when Queen Elizabeth presented the house to
Fix this texther relative, Thomas Sackville, Lord Buckhurst.
Fix this textThe royalties and notabilities who have visited or lived in
Fix this textKnole are too numerous to catalogue; the contacts between the
Fix this texthouse and the great events of European history are of endless
Fix this textvariety and interest. In the bedroom, prepared at a cost of £20,000
Fix this textfor the reception of King James I, the visitor may see a tiny silver
Fix this texteyebath provided for his use, dwarfed amid a Stuart toilet set of
Fix this textsolid silver. In the Venetian Ambassador’s bedroom, decorated by
Fix this textInigo Jones, there is still a sense of use in all the faded magnifi-
Fix this textcence. In the spacious ballroom stands a Louis XIV clock, which
Fix this textwas presented to the third Duke of Dorset by Louis XVI, and
Fix this textsome of the Sevres china was the gift of Napoleon I. The
Fix this textunparalleled wealth of furnishings throughout the house, the
Fix this textembossed silver tables, the tapestries and textiles, the gorgeous suites
Fix this textof furniture, the immense gallery of family portraits, each alone
Fix this textis such as to make Knole unique as a repository of the arts of
Fix this textthe 17th century.
Fix this textJohn Dryden, the poet, who was a visitor here, on one occasion
Fix this textfound a £lOO note under his plate. Horace Walpole stayed at
Fix this textKnole, and both Reynolds and Gainsborough painted here.
