Little is known of the first manor house at Eshott save that in 1310 Roger Mauduit was granted a [licence to crenellate](/source/licence_to_crenellate) his moated house there and that the fortified and moated house was owned by [Sir John Heron](/source/Sir_John_Heron) in 1415. The sparse remains of the moat and some masonry footings have [Scheduled Ancient Monument](/source/Scheduled_Ancient_Monument) status. In the mid 16th century, the Manor of Eshott passed to the Carr family of [Etal](/source/Etal%2C_Northumberland), and in about 1660 William Carr built a new manor house to a [Palladian style](/source/Palladian_style), designed by architect [Robert Trollope](/source/Robert_Trollope), about half a mile south of the old manor house. In 1792 the estate was sold to Thomas Adams. In 1877, the Hall and estate of some {{convert|1800|acre|km2}} were bought by [Emerson Bainbridge](/source/Emerson_Muschamp_Bainbridge), the founder of the [Bainbridge Department Store](/source/Bainbridge's) in [Newcastle upon Tyne](/source/Newcastle_upon_Tyne) (which later became part of the [John Lewis Partnership](/source/John_Lewis_Partnership)). In 1881, Bainbridge significantly enlarged and improved the hall. 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. The previous owners are Robert and Gina Parker, who recently sold the hall to Wildhive UK ltd, November 2024. {{cite web |url=http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2010/01/21/clergyman-buys-ho-sanderson-s-luxurious-eshott-hall-61634-25648510/ |title=News - Today's News - Clergyman buys Ho Sanderson's luxurious Eshott Hall |publisher=JournalLive |date=2010-01-21 |accessdate=2010-03-10 |archive-date=7 March 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120307114603/http://www.journallive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-news/2010/01/21/clergyman-buys-ho-sanderson-s-luxurious-eshott-hall-61634-25648510/ |url-status=dead }} ==References== * {{NHLE|num=1156142 |desc=Eshott Hall |accessdate=28 October 2019}} * [http://www.durham-pa.gov.uk/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=N11880 Keys to the Past]{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} * [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/hotels/ukhotels/4029876/Eshott-Hall-Northumberland-Hotel-Guru.html Daily Telegraph- Hotel Guru] ==External links== * [https://www.eshotthall.co.uk/ Eshott Hall website] Category:Grade II listed buildings in Northumberland Category:History of Northumberland Category:Country houses in Northumberland Eshott Castle --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Eshott Hall](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eshott_Hall) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eshott_Hall?action=history)).
