Nunnykirk Hall, Grade I listed country house in Nunnykirk, England

Nunnykirk Hall stands as a substantial 19th-century residence designed by architect John Dobson in 1825 with refined architectural elements and grand proportions.

The Nunnykirk estate originally included a tower owned by Newminster Abbey until 1536, when it transferred to the Crown during the Dissolution of Monasteries.

The building represents a period of English country house development when architectural grandeur reflected the social status and wealth of the landed gentry.

The property functioned as Nunnykirk Centre for Dyslexia from 1977 until July 2022, providing education for students with specific learning requirements.

William Orde Jr established a successful racing stud at Nunnykirk, breeding champion horses including Beeswing and Newminster, winner of the 1851 St Leger.
