Hutton Hall

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 a local estate in 1851.[2] The house had an associated stable block and was set in 113 hectares (280 acres) of parkland,[2] laid out by James Pulham and included a kitchen garden, an exotic fernery, shrubbery, waterfalls, streams and bridges.[3][4][5]

Hutton Gate railway station was built to serve Hutton Hall.[6][2]

In 1902, a banking crash forced Joseph Pease to sell the house.[3] James Warley Pickering bought the house 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, was sold to John Mathison.[4] In 1985 it was sold to a property developer and has been converted into flats and executive housing.[3]
