The situation on top of a low hill, or knoll, gave the house its name. It was perhaps the location, half hidden from view on its tree-covered hill, that drew the eye of Henry VIII. Henry dropped a broad hint to his own Archbishop, Thomas Cranmer, that he could quite happily live at Knole. Cranmer, being no fool, and rather desirous of keeping his head on his shoulders, promptly made a gift of Knole to the covetous king. He may have lost his estate, but he kept his head, though he only survived long enough to be burned at the stake by Henry’s daughter Mary.
At this National Trust Property you are not allowed to take photographs inside the house but it is possible to take some in the Estate Office and Orangery.

Beautiful photographs. You have really captured the gentleness of the deer.
Thank you so much
Magnificent building, I like your pictures.
Have a nice day
Many thanks – one writer said that it was more like a town than a house. As a visitor you don’t see many rooms
Love the composition of the building and the curving drive . The deer look so gentle. Beautiful.
Yes of course they wanted the buildings to be symmetrical
The deer are quite tame and it’s good to get close to them
