Eshott Hall

The sparse remains of the moat and some masonry footings have Scheduled Ancient Monument status.

In 1877, the Hall and estate of some 1,800 acres (7.3 km2) were bought by Emerson Bainbridge, the founder of the Bainbridge Department Store in Newcastle upon Tyne (which later became part of the John Lewis Partnership).

The previous owner, Ho Sanderson, was a great grandson of Bainbridge.

Beginning in 1997, he carried out major restoration works and brought the building back into use.

It is now operated commercially as a stately home offering accommodation, weddings and conferencing.
