Crathorne hall Yarm

James Lionel Dugdale (1862-1941) laid the foundation stone of Crathorne Hall in December 1903 and the house was completed in June 1906, becoming the largest country houses built during the reign of Edward VII.

It was built with 115 rooms, 41 of which were bedrooms. There were 26 live-in servants who occupied the servants’ wing

 

Crathorne Hall in Yarm was badly damaged by the blaze on 1 October 2014 which started in the roof space of the east wing. All of the guests and staff were evacuated safely from the site, but the east wing on the rightside of the picture was totally destroyed, but as you can see it has been rebuilt exactly as it once was.
