Hutton Hall

Hutton Hall is a Victorian country house in Guisborough designed with red brick walls, stone accents, and slate roofing that create a distinctive appearance. The structure showcases a seven-bay south elevation with an attached conservatory to the east, standing within grounds that once formed part of a much larger estate.

Alfred Waterhouse, a celebrated architect, designed and built Hutton Hall in 1866 for Joseph Pease, a Quaker businessman and Parliament member. The property underwent significant changes throughout the following decades as ownership and its role within the community evolved.

The estate included 113 hectares of parkland with a kitchen garden, fernery, shrubbery, waterfalls, streams, and bridges designed by James Pulham.

The grounds preserve approximately 13.5 acres of the original estate land, with good access from Guisborough town center. The railway line running between Middlesbrough and Guisborough forms the northern boundary, which visitors should be aware of when exploring.

During the Spanish Civil War, the hall opened its doors to Spanish nuns and Basque refugees, with around 20 children arriving from Spain in 1937. This unexpected role as a shelter for people fleeing conflict remains a poignant chapter in its story.
