Brief description of site

Horton Hall was an 18th-century country house set in 115 hectares of parkland, which overlaid the earthwork remains of an early 18th century landscape scheme. The house was demolished in 1936. A number of follies remain, of which The Menagerie has been converted into a house with ornamental gardens covering two hectares.

Brief history of site

An estate map of 1622 shows the Hall to have been surrounded by formal gardens at this date. In 1715, the house was extended and the gardens were altered. The park was laid out in the 1720s. Thomas Wright of Durham made alterations to the house and park in the 1750s.
