Blickling Hall

The present house was built of brick, with stone, in the early 17th century in Jacobean style. It has some wonderful plasterwork ceilings and a fine 123 foot gallery. This gallery houses over 12,000 books, most published prior to the early 16th century. Interesting contents include tapestries, books and Holbein’s “Henry VIII”. The gardens and park are 18th century with a parterre and temple. The 1794 mausoleum in the Great Wood is square.
