Holkham Hall is a building in Holkham, which is located on the north coast of Norfolk. It was built for Thomas Coke by the famous architect William Kent. The entrance is on the south side and is reached via a staircase, behind it is the marble hall. Here is a copy of the ceiling of the Pantheon in Rome, with a total height of 17 meters. From here a staircase leads to the main floor. In October 2007, Pathé Productions began filming for two weeks after Holkham Hall was selected as one of the country houses to be used to recreate the interior of Devonshire House, the London residence of the Duke of Devonshire, a building which no longer exists. To ensure that the lighting would appear the same between shots taken at different times of day and later edited together, windows on both sides of the hall were blocked. Huge arc lights were then brought in to imitate natural daylight.
