	Holkham Hall - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Holkham Hall is one of England's finest examples of the Palladian revival style of architecture, the severity of the design being closer to Palladio's ideals than many of the other numerous Palladian style houses of the period.
		The plans for Holkham were of a large central block of two floors only, containing on the piano nobile level a series of symmetrically balanced state rooms situated around two courtyards.
		The cost of the construction of Holkham is thought to have been in the region of £90,000 (allowing for inflation, approximately £8m in 2006).

		Originally it was intended that the visitor should arrive at Holkham from the south, the direct way from London and Newmarket through Swaffham and Fakenham, and the natural approach for a traveller from inland.
		This change in the approach to the house was brought about in the 1860s with the building of the railway which passed the Northern side of the estate.
		Though it was fed by 7 fresh water springs at the southern end it took many years for the lake to establish itself and early visitors to the Hall were often critical of it.
