This is Holkham Hall.

Holkham Hall is the home of the Coke family.

The Holkham Estate was purchased in 1609 by Sir Edward Coke. The house was built in the 18th century for Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester.

This area is the Coach House and Stable Block.

Home of the Stables Cafe, Ticket Office & Bygones Museum, History of Farming Exhibition, Cycle Hire and a Gift Shop.
