Hedgeley Hall

Hedgeley Hall is a privately owned late 18th-century country house situated near Powburn, Northumberland, 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Alnwick.

In January 1463/4, during the War of the Roses, Sir Ralph Percy was slain there in a skirmish between the Lancastrians and Yorkists on Hedgeley Moor.

[1][2] The estate at Hedgeley was purchased by Ralph Carr in 1786 and he substantially rebuilt the earlier house which had stood on the site.

Their son Ralph Carr (High Sheriff in 1845) inherited the Hebburn estates from his cousin, Colonel Cuthbert Ellison, in 1870.

Hedgeley Hall was remodelled in the 19th century when rear wings were added, and was significantly extended and improved by Colonel Ralph Henry Carr-Ellison with the assistance of architect George Reavell between 1910 and 1914.
