Newby Hall

Is a Grade I listed country house located on the River Ure near Boroughbridge in North Yorkshire.

The house was designed with the assistance of Sir Christopher Wren and built in 1697 by Sir Edward Blackett MP who went on to make a fortune in the South Sea Company . The house was sold in 1748 to Richard Elcock Weddell whose son William improved and enlarged the house. The interiors were remodelled and several architects were commissioned including Robert Adam.

The current house contains a wealth of valuable furniture, paintings and precious artefacts and is owned by the Compton family, descendents of the William Wendell. They have restored the property to its former glory.

A 2007 TV adaptation of Mansfield Park by Jane Austen was filmed at the Hall.
