Welcome to Houghton Hall. The home of Britain's first Prime Minister, Sir Robert Walpole. This beautiful stately home in Norfolk England represents some of the finest Palladian styling in the World. The house also has an extensive park and gardens. Houghton is also well known for breeding specialised deer stock. Sir Robert Walpole, who served under George I and II, commissioned this stately home built of stone shipped from Whitby. The 18th century designer William Kent was responsible for the interior decoration, including the finely carved woodwork and marble fireplaces. The hall is set in parkland containing a herd of white fallow deer. It is the seat of the Marquis of Cholmondeley, whose collection of some 20,000 model soldiers and other militaria is on display.
