Members of the Benefactor Society and President’s Circle are invited to a private tour of Knole, kindly hosted by Lord Sackville (1976). Originally built as an archbishop’s palace, Knole passed through royalty to the Sackville family, who still live there today.

The event includes a tour of the private quarters of 15th Century Knole House in Sevenoaks, Kent; the childhood home of Vita Sackville-West and inspiration for Virginia Woolf’s novel, Orlando. The tour will include rarely seen rooms, normally closed to the public – including the attics; some of the private apartments, including the Chapel, the Library, the Poets’ Parlour, the Colonnade; and the gardens.

This event is exclusively for members of the Benefactor Society and President’s Circle, to express our thanks for their continued support of the College.

If you would like to express early interest, please contact the Alumni Office.
