Hesleyside Hall is a privately owned 18th-century country house and the ancestral home of the Border reiver Charlton family about Шаблон:Convert west of Bellingham, Northumberland. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
The Charltons have been at Hesleyside since the 14th century.[2] The present mansion, believed to be built on the site of a 14th-century pele tower, was built in 1719.[1] The grounds were laid out by Capability Brown in 1776 and the east front was remodelled by architect William Newton in 1796.
Edward Charlton was created a Baronet in 1645.[3] Later Charltons served as High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1721 and 1837, and as Deputy Lieutenant.
The adjacent stable block (a Grade II listed building) incorporates a 1747 date stone[4]
The Spur of the Charlton is a 16th-century spur located at the hall which was occasionally served to the head of the household on a platter, as an indication that food was low and it was necessary to go cattle raiding.[5]
Hesleyside Hall is currently managed by William and Anna Charlton,[6] who have carried out extensive conservation and upgrade work and diversified the estate to include bed and breakfast shepherd's huts in the grounds.[7][8]
In 2015 Hesleyside Hall appeared on the television show Tales from Northumberland with Robson Green.
