Summary
The buildings clustered around the southern and western sides of Pheasant Court comprise the main public and private apartments of Bourchier’s 15th century palace. Observations within the cellar of the Duke’s Tower suggest that the south side f the courtyard may represent a pre-Bourchier survival, one of the earliest fragments of Knole, incorporated within 15th century work – its original extent and form are, however, not possible to define.
