	Jacobean architecture - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jacobean buildings of note are Hatfield House, Hertford; Knole House, near Sevenoaks in Kent; and Holland House by John Thorpe.
		Those suggestions were of a most decadent type, so that even the author deemed it advisable to publish a letter from a canon of the Church, stating that there was nothing in his architectural designs which was contrary to religion.
		It is to publications of this kind that Jacobean architecture owes the perversion of its forms and the introduction of strap work and pierced crestings, which appear for the first time at Wollaton (1580); at Bramshill, Hampshire (1607-1612), and in Holland House, Kensington (1624), it receives its fullest development.
