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 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.
I slept on an old sagging horse-hair mattress as a teenager that had come from the posh side of my family. Now I know exactly where it probably came from.

I didn't know this is the location of the portrait of Wang-y-Tong! An absolutely fascinating figure, a naturalist and medical botanist. I highly recommend a read about him to anyone unfamiliar. I wish we knew even more about him.
One of the most beautiful and interesting houses and grounds in the UK, associated with so many well known inhabitants and so wonderful to go up the drive and see the historic building appear in front of you with its fabulous contents for all to see.....
I visited Knole a long time ago and remember it as being very dark inside, with furniture so old it was falling apart. The grounds are lovely. I much preferred my next stop, Vita Sackville-West's home at Sissinghurst with its many gardens.
England has such beautiful medieval castles and estate homes. Too bad this one wasn't fully shown in this segment; I would've loved to see the rest of the house as well as the grounds/gardens. It good to know that the descendants still live in the house or, I hope so since this segment was filmed 5 years ago.
no mention of the houses "nickname" of the calendar house, or the "knole sofa" ( of which i have one) the house has undergone a massive restoration and is a fabulous place to vist, even though my house backs on to the grounds , i open the gate at the bottom of the garden and slip into the deer park and take the dogs for a walk.
No Way! There is one shot of a hallway with some windows and I thought to myself "that looks like one of the scenes from the movie "Orlando", with Tilda Swinton". Low and behold, "Vita", a former early 20th century owner of Knole, was friends with Virginia Woolf and had inspired the character "Orlando", for Wolfe's book of the very same name!
I question the statement at 8:31 of the Joshua Reynolds 1776 portrait of Wang-y-tong being the first naturalistic portrait of a Chinese subject in English art history. What about the huge 1687 Godfrey Kneller portrait of Michael Shen Fu-Tsung at Windsor Castle?
At one time there was a small book of the house. I gave the book to my mother--in-law and she probably gave it to her Italian daughter-in-law. I wish she had returned it to the British daughter-in-law, I.
If you choose to picnic in the grounds - then be sure to keep a firm hold on your sandwich, or bag of crisps . Those Roe deer may look a picture of sweet innocence - but many a child has reduced to tears because they have had their sandwich, or bag of crips mercilessly ripped clean from their hand
@elizabethbower2168 I'm from the US, and we're not all idiots. I've been familiar with Knole and Sissinghurst for years. I have followed the Sackville-West family and the Nicholsons since my early 20s. Am now 73. I know Kent and surrounds very well.
"... When Richard died, oddly enough for a man who Loved the good life - of a surfeit of potatoes ..." sur·feit /ˈsərfət/ noun an excessive amount of something. "a surfeit of food and drink" Potatoes? What the hey?
I don't think they even thought about Jesus or his example. The Son of God was born in a stable, brought up in a house and learnt a trade from childhood. As an adult he didn't even have a home or a donkey. He walked everywhere. He could've had everything but needed nothing.
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 your comment appears to be sarcastic but its not clear what you're being sarcastic about. Possibly you (mistakenly) think that this man's obvious greed and hunger for power within a church makes null and void faith in the Bible and the millions of other people's true Christlike behavior, reflecting their correct understanding of scripture?
@@drummerlovesbookworm9738 No not me! I am happy to be human living on earth when He brings peace. I was made a human, there are enough angels already. Not all who believe in the bible want to go to heaven. There are actually two hopes for Christians.
It is a pity this did not give more of the interesting facts about the house which has for instance 52 stair cases, I think 365 rooms etc, etc. Also to show some of the buildings surrounding the house.
All that beauty and magnificence and at what price? I shudder to think of all those who died, suffered, toiled & were abused to make it happen. For them this is a damnable place. But my heart is full of joy knowing they are now in a place more beautiful more magnificent then Knole could ever hope to be and not for life time but for all eternity. 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. I would rather suffer a life time of of pain, suffering, & abuse on earth for an eternity of ever lasting love & joy. This place called Knole must of been heaven on earth for the Sackville family. I hope most made it to the real paradise but I doubt it.
No different than your prideful sermonizing. Have you contemplated Knole as a testament to the artisans, craftspersons, and estate workers who created Knole and its artistic treasures?
I came to England as a young girl and Met a very handsome young man from Sevenoaks who proposed to me under an oak tree in the deer Park and then explained all about the year house
Our civilisation has Not built this and still can not. We build boxes with some glass or wooden houses. Not even Paper on the walls. Star forts. Thats why we are som amazed by this. Giant people need Big Doors, cieling and huge Beautiful Windows, gardens, fountains, statyes, fu3niture, art. Versailles over 200 fountains was driven by Mashine de Marly. Electricity =Electric City in 1700.
Yet you’ve come back to watch a video on it for the second time. Anyway as I’ve already stated it has since gone under a massive restoration project costing tens of millions, and has improved drastically since your last visit many years ago.
Kelly Mc you have to remember that these estates provided employment, accommodation and food for dozens, if not hundreds of people. Working in a great house was hard work, but certainly preferable to most of the other options available at the time.

Love documentaries on old manor houses.......but it repulses me how modern politically correct documentaries must include words like gender equality, transgenderism, rape, sexism, etc.
This host ought not have hosted this segment, as his contempt and disdain for the lifestyle, including the hunting, was inappropriate, distracting, and unnecessary. Thank you.
Sandy Beebe These great country houses supplied thousands with livelihoods. Just to build them kept hundreds of craftsmen and general laborers from starving. The deer were hunted yes, but eaten, much like millions of cattle and hogs are slaughtered today for human consumption. Country living on these great estates wasn’t all that bad considering how awful the living conditions in the big cities were.
@@patquint3291 It's the same now. Great houses like Chatsworth and Blenheim employ hundreds of people, which supports all their families, often for generations. They care for them in retirement. Yet 'class warriors' whine about unfairness and inequality. What is wrong with giving people a secure living and safe retirement? It's no different to the new rich like Richard Branson or Alan Sugar employing people, the aristocracy have just been doing it longer.
Christine Thornhill These great houses were home to scores of people, not just the immediate owner and their families. An army of staff slept and ate under that roof, and did so far more comfortably than the general population at the time who would have had the most primitive of accommodation, crowded, damp and cold and with basic and irregular food supplies.
Hampton Court isn't so nice in person. The gardens are beautiful but the house had an eerie, oppressive atmosphere. I was glad to get outside even though it was raining.!
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.

strongly dislike the cynical, sarcastic, not-quite-but-almost sneering tone of the commentary in this video.
To each his own: I loathe the usual oh-so-pompous droning of self-important presenters. This tone is refreshing enough to keep my interest engaged.
Foyle was born that way but I've seen much worse
Really? I don’t find this as such.
Love documentaries on old manor houses.......but it repulses me how modern politically correct documentaries must include words like gender equality, transgenderism, rape, sexism, etc.
Bishop killed deers for fun😡😡😡😠👎not appreciable.
Also for food. They didn't just kill them for fun
This host ought not have hosted this segment, as his contempt and disdain for the lifestyle, including the hunting, was inappropriate, distracting, and unnecessary.
Thank you.
The wield British hate of hunting
Self elected!!
wow as thousands of people starved to death and lived in poverty ?
Sandy Beebe!! Life has never been fair, get over it!!
Sandy Beebe These great country houses supplied thousands with livelihoods. Just to build them kept hundreds of craftsmen and general laborers from starving. The deer were hunted yes, but eaten, much like millions of cattle and hogs are slaughtered today for human consumption. Country living on these great estates wasn’t all that bad considering how awful the living conditions in the big cities were.
@@patquint3291 Well said!!
@@patquint3291 It's the same now. Great houses like Chatsworth and Blenheim employ hundreds of people, which supports all their families, often for generations. They care for them in retirement. Yet 'class warriors' whine about unfairness and inequality. What is wrong with giving people a secure living and safe retirement? It's no different to the new rich like Richard Branson or Alan Sugar employing people, the aristocracy have just been doing it longer.
Silly. Pointless. Less of the gimmicks and more of the subject matter would have worked better.
black a moors, black Christians, black Isrealites built all of the palaces, churches, cities, states, governments... where did white people come from.
Eat the rich.
Why the devil would One person want such a pile as this is ? Such greed is unbecoming .
Christine Thornhill These great houses were home to scores of people, not just the immediate owner and their families. An army of staff slept and ate under that roof, and did so far more comfortably than the general population at the time who would have had the most primitive of accommodation, crowded, damp and cold and with basic and irregular food supplies.
u r not aware that u speak of ...lizards. lizards who made themselves 'better' then humans.
its not pretty is it , not like say hampton court , its big brash and tasteless
Hampton Court isn't so nice in person. The gardens are beautiful but the house had an eerie, oppressive atmosphere. I was glad to get outside even though it was raining.!
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.
