Knole Park, Kent, c1955. Knole, or Knole House, is an English mainly Jacobean country house and former archbishop's palace within a deer park near Sevenoaks in Kent. It was the home of author and garden designer Vita Sackville-West (1892-1962) who inspired Virginia Woolf's novel "Orlando: A Biography". Woolf was inspired to write Orlando when Sackville-West took her to Knole, to show her the place where she had grown up.
