Hutton Hall is a grade II listed country house in the Hutton Lowcross area to the south west of Guisborough, North Yorkshire, England. [1]
History
The Victorian Gothic house was built in 1866 by Alfred Waterhouse for the Quaker industrialist and member of parliament, Joseph Pease. [1] Pease was involved in local ironstone mining and had bought the estate in 1851. [2] The house and stable block were set in 113 hectares (280 acres) of parkland; [2] laid out by James Pulham the estate included a kitchen garden, an exotic fernery, shrubbery, waterfalls, streams and bridges. [3] [4] [5]
Hutton Gate railway station was built in about 1867 to serve Hutton Hall, becoming a public station only in 1904. [6] [2]
In 1902, a banking crash forced Joseph Pease to sell the house. [3] James Warley Pickering bought it in 1905, and passed to his son. [4] During the 1930s much of the woodland was felled. [4] It was sold again in 1935 to Alfred Pease. [7] During the Spanish Civil War, Ruth Pennyman of Ormesby Hall contacted Alfred Pease to request the use of Hutton Hall to house Spanish nuns and Basque refugees; [3] [7] the first 20 children arrived on 1 July 1937. [7] During World War II it was requisitioned by the military. [3] In 1948, the hall, and the 13.5 acres (5.5 ha) which remained of the estate, were sold to John Mathison. [4]
Architecture
The two-storey red brick building has stone dressings and slate roofs. The seven- bay south front has a slate canopy. [1] On the east side is a conservatory which has an internal arcade of arches on flute columns below a parapet. [1]
