National Trust Property in Kent Image © Copyright Oast House Archive
Originally an Archbishop’s palace, the house passed through royal hands to the Sackville family – Knole’s inhabitants from 1603 today. Nestled in a medieval deer-park, Knole is full of hidden treasures waiting for you to explore.
House
Walk through the showrooms created by Thomas Sackville, who employed the finest craftsmen of the early 17th century to re-model the old archbishops’ palace. Four hundred years on, these rooms still smoulder with a stately and intriguing beauty.
Collection
Knole has the most complete set of royal Stuart furniture in the world. Several rooms are full of chairs, stools and tables from Whitehall and Hampton Court Palaces. It's also home to very rare and opulent silver furniture, a golden bed made for the future James II and the original Knole settee.
Park
Famous as Kent's last medieval deer park and a priceless local amenity, the park covers 1,000 acres, mostly owned by the Knole Estate. The herd of about 500 deer are descendants of those hunted by Henry VIII.
