This house is really amazing! As well as Mamhead house, if you go north west of the house you find Mamhead Castle. Also designed by Anthony Salvin and built at the same time as the house it is a copy of 14th century Belsay Castle in Northumberland.

The current house was built in 1833 as a “Marriage House” for Robert Newman and his new bride, Mary. The initials of both appear entwined throughout the house. The family motto, “Ubi amor ibi fides”, “Where there is love there is trust” is beautifully carved above the front door and is repeated in various places throughout the house.

Withnell Fold Hall is in Lancashire.

The staircase is stunning (Picture 8) and very grand giving you an idea of what it’d be like to be coming downstairs every morning for breakfast if you lived here!
They want about £5 million for it but it is actually POA.

Withnell Fold is a village built by the enlightened owner of a paper mill for his work people.

The first Hall was destroyed because of dry rot and the present Withnell Fold Hall was built for the Parke family in 1899.The family remained there until 1951 when it was sold to the Lancashire County Council.
