“Their wonderful estate lay among wooded hills, intersected by rivers and shimmering streams…
The natural surroundings had not been disturbed, but were reverently protected from the advance of civilization;
it was as romantic and mysterious as it had been two hundred years earlier.
There was an atmosphere of poetry over the large, sleeping woods that was unique.”
—Composer Jean Sibelius, recalling his stay in Norfolk, 1914
