| dbo:abstract | Worlingham Hall is a Grade I listed Georgian country house in Worlingham, 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of Beccles in the English county of Suffolk. The hall was built in the 18th century, possibly based on an earlier 17th century house, and as of 2014 is a country house hotel. The hall is known to have been enlarged and remodelled in around 1800 by Francis Sandys for Robert Sparrow. The original building may have been built by John Felton who died in 1703, potentially dating the building to the 17th century. It is built in two storeys of brick and stucco, with a 7-bay frontage. To the left of the main block was originally an Orangery, now converted to other uses. The interior includes an octagonal staircase hall with a stone Imperial dividing staircase having wrought-iron balustrading and a mahogany handrail. The manor of Worlingham had been bought from the Duke family in the 17th century by John Felton, the son of Sir John Felton, of Playford. The Dukes had owned it for several generations. Felton's only daughter, Elizabeth, married Sir John Playters, of Sotterley, who sold Worlingham to Sir Thomas Robinson, Bart., of Kentwell Hall in Long Melford. He died without an heir in 1743 and the manor was eventually sold to Robert Sparrow in 1755. Sparrow's granddaughter Mary, who had married the Irish Peer the Right Hon. Archibald Acheson, Earl of Gosford in 1805, later inherited the property. The Earl served as Governor General of Canada from 1835 to 1838. The 2,800 acres (4.4 sq mi; 11 km2) estate was sold at auction by the 3rd Earl in August 1849 and thereafter passed through several hands before being gradually broken up and sold off. The hall itself fell into a state of disrepair. It was bought in 1962, standing in only 20 acres (0.031 sq mi; 0.081 km2) of land, by Viscount Colville, who undertook the restoration of the building. In 2010 it was offered for sale for approximately £4m.

L'edificio è stato costruito nel XVIII secolo, forse sulla base di un precedente edificio del XVII secolo, e dal 2014 è un hotel di campagna. L'edificio è noto per essere stato ampliato e ristrutturato intorno al 1800 da Francis Sandys per . L'edificio originale potrebbe essere stato costruito da John Felton, morto nel 1703, datando potenzialmente l'edificio al XVII secolo. È costituito da due piani di mattoni e stucco, con una facciata a 7 campate. A sinistra del blocco principale c'era in origine un'Orangerie, ora convertita ad altri usi. L'interno comprende una scalinata ottagonale con scala divisoria imperiale in pietra con balaustre in ferro battuto e corrimano in mogano. Worlingham Hall era stato acquistato dalla famiglia Duke nel XVII secolo da John Felton, figlio di Sir John Felton, di Playford. I Duke lo possedettero per diverse generazioni. L'unica figlia di Felton, Elizabeth, sposò Sir John Playters, di Sotterley, che vendette Worlingham a Sir Thomas Robinson, di Kentwell Hall a Long Melford. Morì senza eredi nel 1743 e il maniero fu infine venduto a nel 1755. La nipote di Sparrow, Mary, che aveva sposato Archibald Acheson, II conte di Gosford nel 1805, ereditò in seguito la proprietà. La tenuta di 2.800 acri (11 km²) fu venduta all'asta nell'agosto 1849 e da allora in poi passò in diverse mani prima di essere gradualmente smantellata e venduta. La sala stessa cadde in uno stato di abbandono. Fu acquistato nel 1962, dal , che intraprese il restauro dell'edificio. Nel 2010 è stata messa in vendita per circa 4 milioni di sterline. (it) |
