Dr Jonathan Foyle explores the amazing story of a house created to display its owners' power and royal connections. A Firehouse and Corvidae co-production for the National Trust.

My husband, a retired Nat Trust Administrator, was asked to stand in at Knole between administrators. For many months he occupied a small apartment in the vast house and after the crowds went home we would explore the areas not open to the public. I had never been that intrigued with ostentatious Knole until I cimbed the rickety stairs to the servants quarters. The iron frame beds were still there with their old sagging horse hair mattresses, a wooden peg for clothes and paperback books left open where the reader had abruptly stopped. I was told that when WW1 broke out these male servants had joined up, leaving immediately, thinking it would soon be over. The servants attic was dusty, cold eerie and frozen in time. There is another story in the attic waiting to be told.

That's interesting - thank you. I live near the Lewisham/Bromley border, and have visited Knole many times over the years. It just goes from strength to strength, as more rooms, furniture, furnishings, artefacts etc, are made available for us to enjoy.

While those mortal gods of earth who created this palace of pleasure & greed will never ever see beauty again & curse this place as false and destroyer of men’s souls. For me this place reeks of greed, contempt for your fellow man and a lust for self pride. The elites might be more intelligent better looking have more money. But if they don’t get right with god & most don’t it’s an eternity of pain & suffering. For all of the meek on earth hold firm do not bow you head in shame as god has said we shall inherit the earth.

The thing that matters is that the building (especially its interiors), are architecturally important and far from tasteless; housing some of the finest furnishings and interior decoration the 17th century had to offer. For example it contains the most significant assemblage of textile-covered 17th century royal furniture in existence (Including state beds, chairs, sofas, stools etc), 17th century silver furniture (an extreme rarity to find remaining pieces), furniture from King Louis XIV, other 17th century furniture from the English Royal Palaces (including the lost Palace of Whitehall *once the largest in the world) and of course many other priceless items of interest: hundreds of master paintings, silver, porcelain, Flemish tapestries, silk hangings etc - not to mention the house itself with anything from exquisitely carved panelling from 1603 in the Ballroom, to the grand staircase (1605-1608) and surrounding Renaissance painted panelling (1603); serving as the entrance to the state rooms. *Note: almost all of these items have remained both untouched and unmoved for over 300 years (meaning they’re in such incredible condition) - which is an amazing achievement and such a rarity! I love Hampton Court also, as it’s such an interesting mix of late 17th century Baroque and late 15th/ early 16th century Tudor, but Knole is a real treasure house in itself and should be appreciated.

Knole : Impressively lovely on the outside. Garish and forbiddingly ugly on the inside.
