A House & A Host

Knole with Robert Sackville-West

Join Ashley Hicks as he meets Robert Sackville-West and is given an intimate private tour of Knole, one of England’s Great Houses. Famously the backdrop for Virginia Woolf’s Orlando, Knole is a ‘calendar house’, home to the Sackville family since 1603 and open to the public 353 days of the year. Watch now for a unique tour of the family’s private apartments - those rooms and corners not open to the public - and discover what it’s like to live among 400 years of history.


Filmed and edited for Cabana by James Thompson. Concept by Ashley Hicks, who photographed Knole for a new book, Knole: A Private View of One of England’s Great Houses. Available now at: cabanamagazine.com/collections/cabana-library.

Ashley Hicks, who photographed Knole for a new book, Knole: A Private View shares his experiences of capturing this extraordinary, storied house.
