From Sir Henry Hobart who bought the estate in the 17th century through to the 1930s, when Blickling was owned by Phillip Kerr (11th Marquess of Lothian), Blickling has had a varied, exciting and fascinating history.
Some of our characters were involved in intrigue, scandal and political events; some lived quietly at Blickling. However, all of them had an impact on the house, gardens and estate.
On Wednesdays, you can meet baronets and butlers, marquesses and maids, society ladies and scullery maids. In fact, many of the people who, over 400 years, owned, lived in, worked at and visited Blickling.
