Shotton Hall, Grade II listed country house in Peterlee, England

The building features classical English architectural elements with modifications dating from its original construction in 1760 through subsequent renovations in the nineteenth century.

Elizabeth Thompson and Charles Brandling commissioned the construction of Shotton Hall in 1756, replacing an earlier manor house on the Thompson family estate.

The property changed from a private residence to a municipal facility, now serving as the headquarters of Peterlee Town Council with spaces for conferences.

Shotton Hall maintains facilities for civil wedding ceremonies and includes a dedicated banqueting suite suitable for private events and gatherings.

During World War II, the grounds of Shotton Hall functioned as a strategic location for anti-aircraft searchlight operations.
