| | | Knole is a country house in England and a former archbishop's palace that is currently owned by the National Trust. It is located within Knole Park, a 1,000-acre (400-hectare) estate that lies to the south-east of Sevenoaks in west Kent. The existing structure of the house dates back to the mid-15th century, although there were significant expansions in the 16th and particularly in the early 17th centuries. Its Grade I listing signifies its combination of late-medieval to Stuart architectural styles. This is especially evident in its central façade and state rooms. In 2019, a comprehensive conservation initiative titled "Inspired by Knole" was completed to restore and enhance the buildings' structures. This was beneficial to the preservation of its significant collections. The adjacent deer park has also endured since 1600. | ||
