Preston Hall is an early 19th century mansion house at Preston-on-Tees, about 4 km south of the centre of Stockton-on-Tees, England.

In 1825 Fowler built the present Preston Hall as a modest two-storey three-bayed rectangular structure with a service wing.

In 1882 Marshall Fowler sold the estate to Robert Ropner,[3] a shipping merchant and shipbuilder, who was High Sheriff of Durham in 1896 and who became a baronet in 1904.

He extended the property by the addition of substantial wing blocks, and in about 1900 he added a large and recently renovated winter garden or conservatory.

On 3 June 1953, Preston Hall was officially opened for the first time as a museum, as part of the celebration of the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.

Following the failure of a scheme to build housing on the site, the decision was made to transform Preston Hall into a museum and to use the grounds as parkland.

[6] After its redevelopment, Preston Park Museum & Grounds now has four themed galleries, telling the stories of the Hall, the local area and the people who have lived here, as well as showcasing the many treasures held in the collection.

[7] Created from the Hall's service wing and outbuildings, the replica Victorian Street is a favourite feature of the museum for many of its visitors.
