Knole House
Knole is a large English country house and former archbishop's palace on the edge of Sevenoaks in Kent, owned by the National Trust. The surviving fabric is a mix of late-medieval and early Stuart building phases, dominated by a long principal range, a central crenellated gatehouse and extensive state rooms and private apartments. The house sits within a long-surviving deer park and historically important landscaped courts and gardens.
