<h3>IN-PERSON EVENT</h3><h2>The Coke family, later Earls of Leicester have, over the past 400 years helped to shape the north coast of Norfolk and have been influential in many villages and settlements across many counties. They have left a rich, treasure trove of archives from which Estate Archivist, Lucy Purvis, will explore snapshots in history of this intriguing family, from Sir Edward Coke’s huge Book of Conveyances to the epic Grand Tour of young Thomas Coke, that prompted the hall to be built, and not forgetting that Holkham can claim the first ‘Red Book’ of Landscape Gardener, Humphry Repton, and the forerunner to the Royal Norfolk Show, the Holkham Sheepshearings  as masterminded by ‘Coke of Norfolk’. Moving through time we will see how generations have shaped the estate today.</h2><h3>T﻿his is a hybrid event, you can book a place for the online version of this event <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/696068548767?aff=oddtdtcreator">here</a></h3><h3>Find our Winter 2023-4 programme of events <a href="https://norfolkrecordofficeblog.org/events-winter-2023-4" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">here</a></h3><h3><strong></strong></h3><h3></h3>
