Ormesby Hall

Ormesby Hall is a Georgian mansion located in the village of Ormesby, near Middlesbrough, England. The hall was built in the 18th century and was the home of the Pennyman family for over 300 years. The hall was designed by architect James Paine and was built in a grand style, featuring a central hall, elegant staircases, and ornate plasterwork.
The house was also surrounded by extensive gardens and parkland. The Pennyman family were prominent figures in the region and played an important role in the development of the local iron industry.
The house was passed down through generations of the family and was eventually gifted to the National Trust in the 20th century.
