History

The Gosforth Park estate of about Шаблон:Convert was owned from about 1509 by the Brandling family. The house was built between 1755 and 1764 for Charles Brandling (1733–1802) to a design by architect James Paine. Brandling also laid out the park and a Шаблон:Convert lake.

Charles John Brandling (1769–1826) suffered financial problems as a result of which the estate was sold, in 1852, to Thomas Smith. In 1880, the house was sold with Шаблон:Convert to High Gosforth Park Ltd, a company formed to establish a racecourse on the estate. A fire started by suffragettes in 1914 destroyed the interior of the property.[1] Restoration of the house took place in 1921.[2]
