Parterre, Seaton Delaval Hall
Seaton Delaval Hall is a Grade I listed country house (List entry Number: 1041321). It stands near the coast between Seaton Sluice and Seaton Delaval. It was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh in 1718 for Admiral George Delaval and is now owned by the National Trust.
Both Vanbrugh and Admiral Delaval died before the house was completed. The west wing was damaged by fire in 1752 but restored 1814-15 by John Dobson; the main block was similarly gutted in 1822 and although re-roofed, remains largely an empty shell.
