What is recorded here
Seaton Delaval Hall is a ruined castle in Northumberland, built 1718-1728 for Admiral George Delaval by Sir John Vanbrugh. Neither lived to see it finished; in 1822 fire gutted the centre, leaving an empty shell beside Grade II* gardens. The Delaval family owned the land since the Norman Conquest, and the hall remains the last country house Vanbrugh designed.
Seaton Delaval Hall is shown as a castle on the public map of Northumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Seaton Delaval Hall was built by Sir John Delaval in the early 18th century, with construction beginning around 1718. It is important as a notable example of English Baroque architecture and as the ancestral home of the Delaval family, later the Earls of Londesborough.
