Shawdon Hall, 18th-century country house in Hedgeley, England.

The mansion features two stories with a seven-bay entrance front, where the central three bays include pilasters topped by a pediment displaying Pawson arms.

The manor belonged to Thomas Lilburn in the 15th century, and William Hargrave acquired it in 1705, commissioning architect William Newton to build the current structure in 1779.

Multiple owners of Shawdon Hall served as High Sheriff of Northumberland, representing the connection between land ownership and local governance in the region.

The estate encompasses 1,050 acres of land and requires special permissions for alterations due to its Grade II* listed building status.

Archaeological discoveries on the grounds include Roman urns containing human remains found in 1761 and gold coins, including an Edward I rose noble, unearthed in 1828.
