As it stood in 1620
What Blickling Hall looked like in its prime.
A long, symmetrical Jacobean block of warm red brick with pale stone dressings, regular mullioned and transomed windows, projecting central bays and shaped gables. The roofline is pierced by numerous tall, clustered brick chimneys and capped at the corners by short round turrets with lead-clad cupolas. The house sits above formal lawns and a sunken parterre, edged by clipped yew hedges and a dry moat planted with shade-loving herbaceous borders.
