AN invitation to Knebworth House was never a humdrum affair. Fellow guests might include the Rolling Stones , Led Zeppelin , Queen or Oasis, whose sell-out concerts in the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties saw the place immortalised as the stately home of rock 'n' roll. Even so, there were some strict rules for overnight stays. 'It didn't matter who you might be sharing the bed with, you had to be out of your room by 10am because that's when the velvet rope was back in place and the paying public were let in,' recalls one regular visitor. 'If you were running late, you could stuff everything under the bed and sneak back later.' This was a rare concession from Knebworth's chatelaine Lady ­Cobbold, to those unwilling to break off their romantic entanglements until the last possible moment. For she had to manage the ­precarious business of keeping the house afloat with a sharp eye on the bottom line, even though it seemed at odds with her fey, hippyish beauty and other-worldly air. For decades, Chryssie Lytton ­Cobbold, who has died aged 83, and her late husband David, the 2nd Lord Cobbold, kept the family seat and its 250 acres of parkland afloat with a mixture of flamboyance, ­optimism and rock 'n' roll.
