Building record TQ 55 SW 281 - Old Laundry, Knole House, Knole, Sevenoaks
Summary
The Old Laundry is a self-contained annexe at the north-east corner of Knole House. "The earliest elements of the building include a two-storey tower projecting from the west side of the main range" (later 15th century). The Old Laundry is an L-shaped late 16th or early 17th-century structure constructed on the eastern side of the tower, and may have been built as accommodation for and officer of the household. It was probably converted into a laundry in the 19th century.
