Caption

Howick Hall, 1845. 'The "little pile", or tower of Howick [in Northumberland] was taken down in 1787, when the present noble structure was commenced...it was chiefly executed under the direction of Mr. Newton, of Newcastle. The wings are joined to the centre by two additions, the fronts of which form the arcs of a quadrant; new gateways made; the approaches altered; and the lawn broken into a better style. It stands within a mile of the sea. The church, which is on the margin of a brook, that skirts the lawn, was built by the first baronet, though he was not its patron, and is an edifice of great neatness without a tower, flat roofed, and in the Greek style'. From "Illustrated London News", 1845, Vol VII.
