Whitworth Hall, County Durham, Grade II listed country house in Spennymoor, England

Whitworth Hall stands within an expansive deer park, featuring architectural elements from both the 1845 rebuild and 1900 construction periods.

The Shafto family acquired the manor in 1652, with Mark Shafto establishing a legacy that influenced Newcastle's political landscape for generations.

The property represents the evolution of English country estates, from private residences of influential families to modern hospitality venues.

The hall operated as a hotel business from 1998 to 2021, hosting weddings and events in its function rooms for up to 112 guests.

A remaining detached library wing serves as the sole surviving component of the 1845 mansion, which replaced a fire-damaged manor house.
