The Northumbrian-Cambridge Association had its summer outing (7.6.14) to the National Trust’s Seaton Delaval Hall in Northumberland this year. Organised by Andrena (who is NCA Secretary), NCA members met on site, and were given a guided tour through this masterpiece of Baroque architecture, which was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh in 1718 for Admiral George Delaval. Sadly damaged by a fire in 1822, but now being restored, the building boasts a fine entrance hall, an atmospheric east wing, formal gardens, and a twelfth century church with Saxon remains. After touring the hall and gardens, we had a traditional fish & chips lunch at the nearby Waterford Arms. Here is a selection of my photos.
