Whitworth Hall which stands in Whitworth Hall Country Park, near Spennymoor, County Durham England, is a country house, formerly the home of the Shafto family and now a hotel.

In 1652 Mark Shafto, Recorder of Newcastle, purchased the manor of Whitworth.

His son Robert, knighted in 1670 was Recorder from 1660 and his grandson was High Sheriff of Durham in 1709.

John was the father of Robert Shafto, better known as Bobby Shaftoe, who vastly increased the family fortune by his marriage in 1774 to Anne Duncombe of Duncombe Park.

The house was substantially destroyed by fire and all that now remains of the 1845 rebuild is the detached library wing.
