Knole House Trip

Last Friday, the media class went to visit Knole House in Kent, a National Trust house with a large scale of grounds. This was a very interesting trip as the whole trip was a performance including our tour guide and we were taken through time through each room. It gave us a chance to learn about the heritage of the house and woman rights at the time. The house was owned by a women called Vita Sackville- West and her lover was a women named Virginia Woolf. After the tour and the performance we watched a film which was about Orlando who was the character in the book that Virginia Wolf wrote, which was a film was about gender identity. Overall, this was a very interesting and beautiful place to visit and at the same time we learned so much about the history behind the house, gender equality and the meaning behind gender as well as the media side with the film in the afternoon.
