Knebworth House
Knebworth House and Park mean many things to many people. Here in the 21st Century, Knebworth Park is best known worldwide as Britain's largest music venue, however in the days before rock concerts Knebworth House was known as the home of the Victorian novelist, playwright and politician, Edward Bulwer Lytton.
