Knebworth Watch
iOS Universel / Education
Knebworth Watch allows users to time travel through the history of Knebworth House and Park, in Hertfordshire, England.
The Watchman’s Tower at Knebworth House offers stunning panoramic views of the house and surrounding parklands, but until recently has been in a state of disrepair and inaccessible.
This VR app allows visitors to experience the view from the top of the restored Watchman’s Tower in five different time periods – Saxon, Norman, Tudor, Victorian and Modern.
From hoards of invading Vikings in the 8th Century to hoards of invading rock fans in the 21st Century, Knebworth Park has a colourful history. Visitors through the centuries have included both Royalty (Elizabeth I) and Rock Royalty (The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin and Queen). Knebworth House has changed dramatically in every generation – from Saxon fort, to Norman keep, to Tudor mansion, to Victorian castle, to Modern visitor attraction and music venue. This beautiful building and its surrounding parkland can now all be experienced in full 360 degrees from the top of the Watchman’s Tower.
Get immersed in the sights and sounds of each time period as you explore a wealth of exclusive historical content straight from Knebworth House’s Archives and find out how the land, house, church and communities occupying this area have evolved to shape this stunning heritage site.
