		Knole's furniture, embroidered textiles and tapestries, ornate plaster ceilings and carved chimneypieces are a reflection of the superb craftsmanship which created the house.

		Knole House saw four more Archbishops before Henry VIII took possession of it, enlarging it to a standard befitting a Royal Palace (and at considerable cost), but never actually spending much time there.

		For example, Vita Sackville-West's work 'Knole and the Sackvilles' is one of the classics on English country houses, and her good friend, Virginia Woolf, wrote 'Orlando' largely based on the history of the house and family.

	Thomas Tallis Soem in Alium - Reviews
		The organ pieces are performed on a marvellous instrument in the chapel of Knole House, with a stylistic rigour that does not prevent them from exuding warmness.
		Add to this the use of the earliest playable organ in England, the instrument in the private Chapel at Knole in Kent with its delightful foibles, the keyboard skills of Andrew Benson-Wilson, and the decision to have the singers recorded in situ in the Chapel, and the effect is truly magical.
		The keyboard music is nicely articulated, although the 16th-century Knole House organ (chosen for the recording as it is similar to the organ that Tallis would have known at the Chapel Royal) sounds tired and uninspiring.
