Windlestone Hall is a mid-16th century Elizabethan country house, heavily rebuilt in 1821 to form a Greek revival stately home, situated near Rushyford, County Durham, England.

[3] Eden's brother Timothy inherited the baronetcies and the estate on the death of their father in 1915, and sold the Hall (along with 4,500 acres, a London property at Hyde Park Gardens and the village of Rushyford) in 1936 to John Todd of Northallerton.

[4] By that time, the Hall had been leased for three years to the Wayfarers' Benevolent Fund, a charity helping to train young homeless people.

[7] Davenport was jailed for 6 years in 2016 for using forged documents to acquire a mortgage when purchasing the house and estate,[8] and the property was repossessed by the bank.

[citation needed] In November 2019 Durham County Council secured the property and gave notice for no access due to safety.

Both applications were unanimously approved by Durham County Council and paved the way for the complete restoration of the Windlestone Park Estate.

The Clocktower and surrounding c-plan stables pre-date the major rebuilding of the main hall, with the estate archives showing that the clock mechanism was commissioned and set to work in 1817.
