It is a signpost pointing to the diverse history of a family which acquired land here in the late 11th century.
The house occupies the site of a Norman settlement, and its original Norman chapel remains in use today. Built between 1719 and 1730 for Admiral George Delaval, it is not only the finest house in the north east of England, but also among the finest works of its architect, Sir John Vanbrugh, one of the masters of English Baroque.
For 900 years, the estate has been a stage for drama, intrigue and romance while the surrounding landscape has fuelled industrial revolution. The house has survived terrible fires, military occupation and potential ruin. Now it provides an amazing space for arts, heritage and the community to come together.

 21/12/2018 | AMAZING HISTORICAL EXPERIENCEmuriel y, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom We recently visited this historical hall which has recently been refurbished because of fire. There are volunteers on hand to explain everything to you. t is a magical day out especially for families |
29/08/2018 | Return visit herebdon257, Morpeth, United Kingdom We visited again this time with our granddaughter and we had another great visit. The volunteers are friendly, knowledgeable and keen to help. The ongoing restoration work is interesting to see and a huge multi million project is ongoing. The gardens boasts community plots which are full of fruit, vegetables and flowers. The hall itself is a magnificent shell with only the wings unscathed by the fire which destroyed the centre. The formal gardens are looking very good at present with mature trees shrubs and enclosed floral beds. The Norman church of Our Lady is accessed through the gardens. We will certainly return in future to see the changes from the restoration process. |
19/08/2018 | Great place, great staff, great visitPhil7631, Shotley Bridge, United Kingdom Having just bought a NT membership my wife and I have been to a couple of properties over the last few weeks, including Wallington and Cragside. I have to say that I probably enjoyed this more SDH more than either of those. The staff were great and seemed to take great pleasure in explain the history of the Hall and the Delaval family. Give it a go, you won't be disappointed |
 15/08/2018 | A little more informationmalcomthird, I’m a great fan of self guided tours and would have really liked a little more written information around the grounds. However, there is more great stuff to be said than my little whinge. The group introduction on the steps was informative and engaging (he compared himself to Ken Dodd but I thought the recollection of the facts was very impressive) and I would spare the 30 minutes to listen. I would definitely revisit, they have big plans for this site and it will be great to go back and see what they have come up with. The site has a very fun humour, lots of grounds, and indoors for if it rains you out. I would say certainly fun for all ages. |
12/08/2018 | An unusual National Trust building101dot, Eastbourne From the outside this looks like many of the National Trust buildings, a large country house. But when you enter you quickly realise that it is just a shell with a view damaged statues as the result of a devastating 19th century fire. You can still access most of the rooms and learn about the theatrical family who owned the hall and of some of the tricks they play on their guests. The ground are accessible and enjoyable. |
