Blagdon Hall
|
Blagdon was built on the site of a much older manor, between
1720 and 1750, for Matthew White a Newcastle merchant and Lord Mayor
and his son, Sir Matthew White, Baronet.
The house has been altered at various dates. In 1782, the
original pilasters and cornices were removed from the east front; in
1826 a large portico was built at the front door, designed by Bonomi;
and at about the same time the wing to the north was added. In 1945,
the portico and various Victorian additions were removed following a
fire.
The Stable block to the north-west of the house was designed by
James Wyatt in 1791.
