Welcome
Whatever the season, Knole and its surrounding parkland offer visitors a special experience.
This website features excerpts from interviews with people who lived at Knole in the 20th century, including members of the Knole Estate staff. Residents of Sevenoaks are also regular visitors, and several interview excerpts are highlighted here from Knole’s Oral History archive which dates from the 1880s to the present.
When the British Library’s online catalogue services resume in full in 2025/26, (after its 2023 cyberattack), you can listen to interviews in full by reserving a recording for playback at the BL in London.
