==History and description==
The home of the Lytton family since 1490, when Thomas Bourchier sold the reversion of the manor to Sir Robert Lytton, Knebworth House was originally a red-brick Late Gothic manor house, built round a central court as an open square. In 1813-16 the house was reduced to its west wing,〔( 'Parishes: Knebworth', ''A History of the County of Hertford'': volume 3 (1912), pp. 111-18. ) Date accessed: 27 August 2007].〕 which was remodelled in a Tudor Gothic style by John Biagio Rebecca for Mrs Bulwer-Lytton,〔Colvin, Howard (1995) ''A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects 1600-1840'', 3rd ed. New Haven: Yale University Press, ''s.v.'' "John Biagio Rebecca".〕 and then was transformed in 1843-45 by Henry Edward Kendall Jr. into the present Tudor Gothic structure.〔Colvin, Howard (1995) ''A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects 1600-1840'', 3rd ed. New Haven: Yale University Press, ''s.v.'' "Henry Edward Kendall", note.〕 In 1913-1914 it was leased for ₤3,000 per year by Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovich of Russia and his morganatic wife Natalia Brasova.〔Donald Crawford, ''The Last Tsar: Emperor Michael II'' (Kindle Location 630.) Murray McLellan. Kindle Edition〕 Its most famous resident was Edward Bulwer-Lytton, the Victorian author, dramatist and statesman, who embellished the gardens in a formal Italianate fashion. Much of the interior was redesigned by Sir Edwin Lutyens, who simplified the main parterre. A herb garden in an interlaced quincunx design was drawn by Gertrude Jekyll in 1907 but not planted until 1982.
