There is still a library at Holkham Hall but as to what's in it I couldn't tell you. They've certainly sold some stuff in recent years because
there was a big broo-ha-ha
about some da Vinci sketches, but whether books & papers went I know not. There's an estate office at the hall, so you could probably write to
them for info.
