Report - Ewart Newtown Park, Wooler, July 21

[Markknights94]

Ewart Newtown Park was an estate built by Count Horace St Paul in the 1780s. It stayed in the family until 1937 when Horace IV inherited the estate upon his father's death. However Horace had to pay off his father's debts and had nothing left to run the estate. The family left but the house was used during WW2 as a military base but has remained empty since the end of the war.
The place is decaying badly it would seem and a few of the upstairs rooms I didn't dare go in as the floors looked bad and I was on my own so safety first. I'd quite like to go back in a year just to see the rate of decay. But its a lovely place in a quiet corner of the world and certainly has a grand feel to it, especially on the spiral staircase.
Hope you enjoy!

Nicely done. I really enjoyed this place. But I like old ruined houses and churches

I always like seeing here. Watching the decay is quite sad. But there are some great architectural features here & a good history. Really nice report :
