Blagdon Hall

Blagdon Hall (grid reference NZ21557705) is a privately owned English country house near Cramlington in Northumberland.

Blagdon Hall was substantially enlarged in the nineteenth century to designs by the architects John Dobson[2] and Ignatius Bonomi.

[citation needed] The gardens were extensively remodelled in the 1930s by Sir Edwin Lutyens, whose daughter Ursula was married to The 3rd Viscount Ridley.

The gardens also contain the only surviving bronze of John Graham Lough's gigantic statue of Milo of Croton.

The Royal Agricultural Society of England awarded the Bledisloe Gold Medal in 2015 to Ridley as they "wanted to highlight the extensive environmental improvement work that has been undertaken across the land".
