Knole revealed: archaeology and discovery at a great country house

Abstract

• Over the past decade, Knole has undertaken the biggest conservation project in the National Trust, supported by a generous grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. In order to conserve the internationally significant collections housed at the property, major work has been carried out on the fabric and environment of this Jacobean treasure-house. The ambitious project has meant that, for the first time, the team has been able to explore and better understand the largest country house in England. This book shares the discoveries made through detailed archaeological recording and conservation at Knole. For more information about Knole visit: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/knole.
