Lartington Hall

Lartington Hall is an English country house built in the late 1600s with a three-storey central block and Georgian additions, set within seven acres of formal gardens and woodland. The property overlooks approximately 100 acres of historic parkland in Lower Teesdale.

The estate was built in the late 1600s for Francis Appleby and received a Georgian extension around 1750. Throughout its history, the property has had only five different owners and served the Red Cross for a period after World War II.

The hall houses a museum established in 1811 to display a fossil and art collection gathered by its owner at that time. Visitors today can still see parts of this historic collection, which reflects the interests of those who lived here in the past.

The property operates primarily as a venue for events and celebrations, available by arrangement. Access to the grounds and gardens is best planned in advance through the venue operators to ensure availability.

The property remained under the ownership of just five families throughout its entire existence, which is unusual for a large English estate and allowed the character and collections to remain relatively unchanged. This rare continuity of ownership helped maintain its original feel across the centuries.
