Explore Knole's Gatehouse Tower

Knole's imposing Gatehouse Tower has been a source of fascination to visitors for centuries and is open all year round. Once home to Edward Sackville-West, 5th Baron Sackville (known to his friends as Eddy), it became a place to relax and party for numerous members of the Bloomsbury group, including novelist Virginia Woolf and the painter Duncan Grant, as well as his famous cousin Vita Sackville-West, the gardener and poet.

Knole Manor and park is stunning. It deserves many visits to absorb its beauty and place in history.

We are sorry but the excerpt from the "Moonlight" Sonata by Beethoven was not appropriate for this video. Beethoven himself didn't titled it "Moonlight" but "Sonata No. 14 in C# minor." We can understand using the somber aesthetic of the piece to match the dark sentiment of the visual however, it failed to parallel or enhanced it. Will be better to find a British piece from that 1920s era, instead of a Germanic one.
