NETHERWITTON HALL

'Netherwitton Hall' is a privately owned mansion house, and a Grade I listed building situated at Netherwitton, near Morpeth, Northumberland.
The estate was owned by the Thornton family from the 14th century. Margaret Thornton, heiress of Netherwitton , married Walter Trevelyan, second son of Sir George Trevelyan in 1772 and the property has remained in the Trevelyan family ever since.
There has been a house on the site since the 14th century. The present house, which was built in about 1685, to a design by architect Robert Trollope has an impressive three storey, seven bayed frontage with ballustrade and unusual irregular window pediments. The rear presents some earlier features including a stairway tower which may contain remnants of ancient fortification.
The gardens contain a folly and masonry features which are protected by Grade II listed building status
