Powerhouse featuring Chinwe Russell’s 20 Historical Women Who Changed the World

In 2026, Knole is collaborating with artist Chinwe Russell to celebrate stories of incredible women from around the world. Chinwe’s series of portraits, '20 Historical Women who Changed the World', is a bold, colourful and historically inspired body of work which gives an insight into the lives and legacies of some remarkable women. Paired with a carefully curated selection of Knole’s own portraiture, this exhibition will create playful links between the women who inspired her and the women who shaped the powerful estate at Knole. Chinwe is also producing a special commission featuring one of Knole’s most iconic women through her unique lens. Please note: this exhibition explores sensitive historical themes, including references to the body, health and social change.

History & Heritage

Attic tours

Hidden above the grandeur of the showrooms lie Knole's attics - sometimes inhabited but more often used for storage, these spaces have evolved over the centuries with each generation. These behind the scenes tours will take in the decorated ceilings, graffiti, witchmarks - also known as ritual protection marks - and artefacts found in the Retainer's Gallery, South Barracks and Upper King's Room. Conservation work has been left visible in places, laying open the bare bones of the house and exposing the craftsmanship underlying its structure. Normal admission applies. As well as a ticket for this tour, please pre-book an Outdoor and Tower ticket per person. This is free for National Trust members. Car parking is free with all admission tickets.
