Milbourne Hall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Milbourne Hall is a privately owned mansion house at Milbourne, near Ponteland, Northumberland which has Grade I listed building status.
The Bates family were a long established Northumbrian family of Bedlington and Halliwell who enjoyed intermarriage with other prominent landed famililies. Ralph Bates (1764-1813) High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1812 and later Deputy Lieutenant built the house in about 1810 to a design by Edinburgh architect John Patterson. It was built in a Georgian style in local stone, around an octagonal courtyard and features unusual internal arrangements including a rotunda salon.
In 1891 Georgiana Elliot nee Bates, bequeathed the estate to her grandson Ralph GE Mortimer (High Sheriff in 1916).
