Knole

House in Kent, England, situated 1.5 km/1 mi from Sevenoaks. One of the largest private houses in England, it was begun by Thomas Bourchier (c. 1404–1486), archbishop of Canterbury, in 1456, but greatly extended around 1603 by Thomas Sackville, to whom it was granted by Queen Elizabeth I. It was given in 1946 by the 4th Lord Sackville to the National Trust.

The state rooms contain a large number of historic pictures, rare furniture (including the Knole settee), rugs, and tapestries.
