Newton Hall is an 18th century country house at Newton on the Moor, near Alnwick, Northumberland. It is a Grade II listed building.[1].
The house was built for Samuel Cook on the site of an earlier house in 1772[1]. His grandson Samuel Edward Cook inherited the estate and also the Hauxley estate of his maternal grandmother Frances Widdrington.[2]. In 1840 he changed his name to Widdrington. He served as High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1854.
His nephew and heir Shalcross Fitzherbert Jacson [2](who changed his name to Widdrington in 1856) significantly remodelled and enlarged the house in 1864[1]. He was High Sheriff in 1874.
The Widdrington estates were broken up in the 20th century. Hauxley was sold in 1956 and Newton by auction in 1957[3]
The late 18th century stable block (also a Grade II listed building) bears a gateway clock made in 1763 for Priness Amelia a daughter of George II of England[4]
