Nunwick Hall is a privately owned 18th-century country house near Simonburn, Northumberland in North East England. The estate has been the home of the Allgood family since the 17th century. The house is a Grade II* listed building.[1] but is not open to the public.
In 1738 Lancelot Allgood married his cousin Jane Allgood who was heiress to the Nunwick estate [2] and they built the present three storey five bayed house [1]to a Georgian style design by architect Daniel Garrett.
Improvements made in 1829 by architect Ignatius Bonomi included a new entrance porch and east wing.
The grounds were laid out in 1760 and are protected as a Registered Historic Park and as a Grade II listed building [3]
Members of the Allgood family have served as High Sheriff of Northumberland in 1818, 1858 and 1954[2]
