Ridley Hall, Northumberland

Ridley Hall is an 18th-century country house, now a residential and conference centre, at Bardon Mill, Northumberland. It is a Grade II listed building〔( English Heritage: Images of England )〕
A 16th-century house on the site was owned by the Ridley family of Willimoteswick.〔''A History of Northumberland'' Pt 2 Vol 3 p 337 (1840) John Hodgson. Google Books〕 It was acquired by the Lowes family in the late 17th century〔 and was replaced in 1743 with a new Georgian style mansion.〔
The death in 1795 of John Lowes (High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1790) was followed by that of his son William Cornforth Lowes in 1810 and of his brother in 1812, and in 1818 the house was sold to Thomas Bates of Halton Castle, Northumberland.〔( History of Ridley Hall )〕
In 1830 John Davidson (High Sheriff in 1839), a cousin and beneficiary of the will of William Cornforth Lowes, repurchased the house〔 and made substantial improvements to the property. He married Susan Jessup a daughter of the 9th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne, who on her death bequeathed the estate to John Bowes an illegitimate son of John Bowes, 10th Earl of Strathmore and Kinghorne.〔
The house was rebuilt with a new main block in a neo-Tudor style in 1891 by architect Horatio Adamson for Frances Bowes-Lyon.〔( Keys to the Past )〕 The 18th-century west wing became the domestic service wing.
The Bowes-Lyon family were not often resident, and in the 20th century the house was sold to the Rev E A Evans and was converted to a preparatory school.〔 In the mid 1960s it joined forces with Featherstone Preparatory School from nearby Haltwhistle. In 1967 lack of numbers forced the closure of the school and the Rev E A Evans retired in 1967. The building was then purchased by Northern Counties College of Long Benton, Newcastle upon Tyne and converted into a teacher training college for first year students. The house is now the boarding wing of Haydon Bridge High School, for students who live beyond Otterburn, and is directed by Mr S Sand who is part of the school staff. During weekends and school holidays, when boarders have gone home, the hall is open for weddings and conferences, but it is not open to the general public.〔(Northumberland CC Ridley Hall )〕
Ridley Hall is set on a thirty-three acre estate comprising woodland, playing fields and lawned gardens. The estate borders the Allen Banks, a Victorian garden in a gorge of the River Allen owned by the National Trust.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Boarding at Ridley Hall )
