  Introduction to Knebworth House.
Knebworth House is unique - originally a red-brick Tudor manor house, it was transformed in 1843 into the gothic fantasy we see today, with turrets, griffins and gargoyles.
There is something for all ages - the maze and the dinosaur trail in the garden, the children's room in the house.
If you are coming to a function, conference, wedding or other event in the House or in the Barns or the grounds, I hope you will have an enjoyable visit and take away many happy memories of Knebworth.

 Camelot Village: Britain's Heritage and History
The house has stood for many years longer than the nineteenth-century decoration would suggest and the stucco hides from view a red brick house dating back to Tudor times.
Successive generations up to the present have moulded the house to their own highly individual requirements, building, demolishing, redecorating but, fortunately, never entirely obliterating the taste of a predecessor.
The principal changes to the remaining wing, put forward by her architect, John Biagio Rebecca, son of Biagio Rebecca, the painter, were the concealment of the red brick by stucco, the Gothicizing of the windows and the addition of eight towers, battlements and a porch.

 The 1979 Knebworth Concerts
veteran promoter Freddie Bannister at Knebworth (or elsewhere for that matter).The return to the UK of Led Zeppelin, after a four year hiatus, was to prove an artistic success but a financial disaster for the luckless promoter, who was, it appears, a victim of circumstances, not all of his own creating.
Whatever, far fewer people attended on the 11th and Zeppelin's management were in charge of the money.As a result of the overestimation of the popularity of Zeppelin by all concerned, big money was lost on the second weekend.
More info about these concerts can also be found at the Knebworth House site and at Rip Gooch's site, which contains substantial portions of text from the now defunct book Knebworth Rock Festivals, by Chryssie Lytton Cobbold, and finally, at Kevin Shewan's Knebworth 79 pages.

 Knebworth : Stevenage Knebworth House | Reviews | NME.COM
Most of Knebworth, however, descends on the main stage for the return of Lamborghini-crashing environmentalist and wigger-pop icon Jay Kay's Jamiroquai, for which this shebang is essentially a front.
Not without its moments (an hilarious piece of impromptu ballet; the garage breaks and house flashes dropped into the mix), it becomes tiring when you realise all Jamiroquai offer are interminably extended funk-jams through The Hits.
Thereafter the Knebworth massive splits into several pieces, and it's hard to unite them under one banner beyond 'people who neck shedloads of drugs and sweat a lot'.
