Located on the north Norfolk coast, adjacent to the village of Holkham, Holkham Hall is the seat of the Earls of Leicester, and the 18th century mansion is still very much a lived-in family home. The hall is an elegant 18th century Palladian style house, based on designs by William Kent and built by Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester, aided by the architect and aristocrat Lord Burlington. The principal entrance is through the Marble Hall, which is in fact made of pink Derbyshire alabaster. Holkham Hall is part of a large active private estate of some 25,000 acres (100 km2).
