5000, Falcon, Blickling Hall, Norfolk

This is another rare architecture puzzle by Falcon. Like most large Falcon puzzles, it is now very difficult to find, especially in new condition. The title is Blickling Hall, Norfolk.

The library at Blickling Hall contains one of the most historically significant collections of manuscripts and books in England. The estate is listed Grade II on the English Register of Historic Parks and Gardens for its buildings and structures, woodland, specimen trees, Victorian garden ornaments and topiary. The garden at Blickling covers 55 acres (22 ha) and contains 18th century yew hedges, formal and informal gardens. In 2010, the kitchen garden was opened to the public.

Blickling Hall  is also important as the birthplace of Anne Boleyn, second wife of King Henry VIII and mother to Queen Elizabeth I of England.

This puzzle is NEW, with its original FACTORY SEAL. The cellophane wrapping is intact. One corner of the box shows a small dent, as you can see in the photographs.

Another large architecture puzzle by Falcon is the Houses of Parliament, London.
