Hutton Hall is a grade II listed country house in the Hutton Lowcross area to the south west of Guisborough, North Yorkshire, England.[1]
The Victorian Gothic house was built in 1866 by Alfred Waterhouse for the Quaker industrialist and member of parliament, Joseph Pease.[1] Pease was involved in local ironstone mining and had bought the estate in 1851.[2] The house and stable block were set in 113 hectares (280 acres) of parkland;[2] laid out by James Pulham the estate included a kitchen garden, an exotic fernery, shrubbery, waterfalls, streams and bridges.[3][4][5]
Hutton Gate railway station was built in about 1867 to serve Hutton Hall, becoming a public station only in 1904.[6][2]
In 1902, a banking crash forced Joseph Pease to sell the house.[3] James Warley Pickering bought it in 1905, and passed to his son.[4] During the 1930s much of the woodland was felled.[4] It was sold again in 1935 to Alfred Pease.[7] During the Spanish Civil War, Ruth Pennyman of Ormesby Hall contacted Alfred Pease to request the use of Hutton Hall to house Spanish nuns and Basque refugees;[3][7] the first 20 children arrived on 1 July 1937.[7] During World War II it was requisitioned by the military.[3] In 1948, the hall, and the 13.5 acres (5.5 ha) which remained of the estate, were sold to John Mathison.[4]
