The Knoll was once the home of the artist Rex Whistler
Our home, The Knoll, was built in 1904.
For a brief period of his childhood the artist Rex Whistler lived here with his mother and younger brother, Lawrence
Rex is particularly famous for his clever Trompe D'Oeuil murals which can be seen in a number of houses and stately homes around the country - the murals for Sir Philip Sassoon at Port Lympne - (the tented room), at Mottisfont for Mrs Gilbert Russell, The dining room of the Tate Gallery now Tate Britain and at Plas Newydd for the Marquess of Anglesey.
His brother and biographer, Sir Lawrence Whistler is equally famous for his work in glass.
