Belsay Hall, Castle and Gardens
Belsay was the home of the Middleton family for more than seven centuries. The Middletons were first recorded as owning Belsay in 1270. Their original residence, a medieval castle dominated by a late 14th century stone tower, was extended and redeveloped over the years until finally being vacated in 1817 with the completion of Belsay Hall, a Greek Revival mansion that became the family home until 1962. The hall is displayed without furnishings.
