Holkham Hall

About

What tales can the outside of Holkham Hall tell us? Why Palladian? Is it symmetrical? What tricks with bricks and windows were used? Why four wings and how many floors are there really? On this exciting new walking tour led by Holkham's historian and librarian, Dr Mac Graham, we have been granted special access to the private gardens to reveal all. We circumnavigate the hall's exterior, examining grand elevations and looking into nooks and crannies not normally seen by the public.
