The text below is for information only and is from the opposite separate page it cannot be supplied with the print - All spelling subject to the OCR program used HOLKHAM HALL, NORFOLKWork on Holkham Hall did not start until 1734, although Thomas Coke of Holkham had been turning over in his mind the idea of building a Roman-style house for at least 16 years - ever since he had met Lord Burlington and William Kent while travelling in Italy.Kent became Coke's architect and set about the business of transferring Rome to Norfolk. Essentially, Kent's task was less that of an originator than that of a highly sensitive synthesiser, combining elements not only from the original Roman models but also from such Renaissance adaptors as Palladio and Inigo Jones.He was astonishingly successful, creating something which demonstrated its classical origins in every line but which was also individual and of its own period. The exterior is dignified - austere - but the interior superb. Unforgettable is the glowing marble entrance hall, built like a Roman basilica, with a soaring flight of steps leading to the saloon on the main floor.
