Crook Hall, Medieval manor house in Framwelgate, Durham, England

The stone structure combines architectural elements from three periods: a medieval hall, a Jacobean manor house, and an 11-bay Georgian extension.

Built in the 13th century, Crook Hall stands as the only surviving domestic open hall in County Durham, constructed from sandstone with Welsh slate roofing.

The National Trust maintains this Grade I listed building, preserving its gardens, which feature distinct sections including rose gardens and vegetable patches.

The property includes a bookshop and cafe, with regular opening hours for visitors who want to explore both the historic building and its surrounding gardens.

The property passed through numerous families over 800 years, including the Billinghams who held it for three centuries before the Mickleton family acquired it.
