Blickling Hall is a Grade I listed English country house situated in 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) of parkland in a loop of the River Bure, near the village of Blickling north of Aylsham in Norfolk, England. The Jacobean mansion was built on the ruins of a Tudor building for Sir Henry Hobart after 1616 and designed by Robert Lyminge. The library at Blickling Hall contains one of the most historically significant collections of manuscripts and books in England, containing an estimated 13,000 to 14,000 volumes. The core collection was formed by Sir Richard Ellys. The property passed into the care of the National Trust in 1940. Between 1499 and 1505, the property was in the possession of the Boleyn family.
