Editing Blickling Hall (section)

==Later history==
In 1698 the estate passed down to [[John Hobart, 1st Earl of Buckinghamshire|Sir John Hobart, the 5th Baronet]] who was created [[Earl of Buckinghamshire]] in 1746. He was responsible for creating the [[ha-ha]] and building the Doric Temple in the grounds, as well as extending the park by the purchase of adjacent land. His son [[John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire]] remodelled the hall between 1765 and 1785. Although the estate then passed down to his youngest daughter Caroline, who was married to [[William Harbord, 2nd Baron Suffield]], the couple died childless and it thus devolved to Caroline's nephew William Schomberg Robert Kerr, 8th [[Marquess of Lothian]], who remodelled the west front. It thereafter passed down in the Kerr family.<ref name=NHLEGarden/>
