No.50 Knebworth House
One of England’s most beloved stately homes, Knebworth House is famous worldwide for its rock concerts and as the home of Victorian novelist Edward Bulwer Lytton – author of the words “The pen is mightier than the sword”. Architecturally, Knebworth House gives a perfectly clear understanding of the changing styles and ideas right through the ages, with a number of rooms specifically depicting a certain era. An outstanding spectacle is the Banqueting Hall, not only because of its varied 17th century influences and craftsmanship, but also because it holds a fascinating history. Many distinguished guests have passed through this hall, and numbering among them were Charles Dickens and Sir Winston Churchill. On several occasions the celebrated Dickens, a great friend of Sir Edward, transformed the hall into a theatre when he and his fellow amateur actors gave private performances at Knebworth House.
