Loring Hall, Grade II listed country house in North Cray, United Kingdom.
Loring Hall stands as a substantial brick building featuring traditional architectural elements, symmetrical windows, and refined exterior decorations from the 18th century.
The residence gained recognition when British Foreign Secretary Viscount Castlereagh lived there from 1811 until his death by suicide in 1822.
Goldsmiths College renamed the building to honor Captain William Loring, their first warden who sacrificed his life at Gallipoli during World War I.
The building now functions as a specialized care facility for individuals with learning disabilities, continuing its legacy of service to the community.
English Heritage placed a blue plaque on the building to commemorate Viscount Castlereagh's residency and tragic end at this location.
