Newsham Hall in Stockton-on-Tees is Grade III Listed. Newsham is Anglo-Saxon meaning ‘the new dwelling’ and takes its name from a settlement around the 12th century. In the early 1800s the area was divided into four farms, Featherstone House, Newsham Hall, Newsham Grange and White House. Over the years the land has been sold off and now consists of Newsham Hall, Newsham House, Newsham Grange, Thornhill, Rose Cote, Featherstone House and Grey House.
After being occupied by a Mr Mills, his fortunes increased, and he was then able to build a huge new Edwardian ‘manse’, set in its own grounds, on the outskirts of Middlesbrough. He must of enjoyed the house seen above so much, that he called his new home ‘Newsham Hall’ too!
