Seaton Delaval Hall |

|
Seaton Delaval Hall was acquired by the National Trust in December 2009, and opened to the public on 1 May 2010.
Seaton Delaval Hall is a splendid English baroque house, regarded by many as Sir John Vanbrugh's masterpiece. The playwright who turned so successfully to Architecture built this great house between 1718 and 1728 for Admiral George Delaval. The house, one of the great feats of architecture of the early 18th century, comprises a centre block between two arcaded and pedimented wings. In 1822 the Centre Block was gutted by fire, but was partially restored in 1862-63 and again in 1959-62 and 1999-2000.
The East Wing contains very fine stables and in the grounds are extensive garden and statues. There is also a Coach House with an interesting collection of vehicles, a restored Ice House and a unique Norman Church.
