Seaton Delaval Hall, Grade I listed English Baroque mansion in Seaton Sluice, England
The central building features two floors with high ceilings, flanked by symmetrical wings containing stables and service areas, connected by curved colonnades.
Sir John Vanbrugh designed this grand residence for Admiral George Delaval in 1718, completing construction in 1728 following English Baroque principles.
The Delaval family organized theatrical performances and masquerade balls in the hall, establishing a reputation for entertaining gatherings in the 18th century.
The National Trust maintains guided tours through the mansion, gardens, and stables daily from March to October between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM.
A fire in 1822 left permanent marks on the central block's stonework, creating dark patches that tell the story of its survival.
