Picture postcard sent by Bray to The Chief Resident, The Garden, Knole, Kent on 28th July 1904 asking for information to be supplied.
Knole is a country house situated within Knole Park, a 1,000-acre (400 ha) park located immediately to the south-east of Sevenoaks in west Kent. The house apparently ranks in the top five of England's largest houses, under any measure used, occupying a total of four acres
Knole has a very large walled garden, at 26 acres (11 ha) (30 including the 'footprint' of the house). It has the very unusual - and essentially medieval feature of a smaller walled garden inside the outer one (Hortus Conclusus). It contains many other features from earlier ages which have been taken out of most country-house gardens: various landscapers have been employed to elaborate the design of its large gardens with distinctive features. These features include clair-voies, a patte d'oie, two avenues, and bosquet hedges.
