Located in the North Yorkshire, England, parish of Skelton-on-Ure, Newby Hall is a rural home next to the River Ure. It is located 6 miles south of Topcliffe Castle, where the manor of Newby was once located, and 3 miles southeast of Ripon. The hall, which is a Grade I listed building, is encircled by vast gardens and houses a collection of paintings and furniture. The public is welcome to visit Newby Hall. Originally, the lords of Topcliffe Castle owned the manor of Newby. In the 1690s, Sir Edward Blackett, an MP for the Ripon constituency, purchased the manor of Newby from the Crosland family following the death of Sir John Crosland in 1670. Following the death of Blackett in 1718, his son Edward succeeded him, followed by his nephew Edward, who sold the estate to Richard Elcock in 1748. In 1762, it passed to William Weddell, his young son. Using the wealth of his great-uncle from the South Sea Company, William Weddell, MP for the Malton constituency, renovated and expanded the mansion in the 1760s. Several architects, notably John Carr and Robert Adam, designed the interior renovation. Collection of Roman antiquities by William Weddell, which he had brought back from Italy between 1764 and 1765, was kept in the building. As a tribute to her son, who was murdered by bandits in Greece in 1870, Lady Mary hired William Burges to construct the Church of Christ the Consoler on the property between 1871 and 1876. The Compton family, the current owners, are matrilineal relatives of William Weddell. The property has been restored. Major Edward Compton created the current version of the gardens, which feature woodland pathways and wide herbaceous borders. #History #Architecture
