Holkham Hall is a Neo-Palladian country house near the village of Holkham in Norfolk, England, built over thirty years between 1734 and 1764 for Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester, with the architect William Kent as principal designer, Richard Boyle, 3rd Earl of Burlington, contributing, and Matthew Brettingham acting as clerk of works. Its severe, closely Palladian design is often held up as one of the finest examples of the Palladian Revival in England. Still the ancestral home of the Coke family, Earls of Leicester, it was listed Grade I in 1951 and today combines a private residence with a public visitor attraction.
