Bavington Hall

BAVINGTON HALL hidden away for centuries, screened by woods that had become overgrown and suffered badly from the elements till a shadow of its former self, has been re-born, creating a setting suited to the grandeur of Bavington Hall and all of its historic credentials.

Since 1240AD, the beginning of the Hall's history, historic inhabitants such as the Shafto family have enjoyed over 300 years in the Hall, an interesting history, being related to the renowned Bobby Shafto adding to the charisma. Notably, Admiral George Delaval of Seaton

Delaval in 1716 purchased the Hall and thirteen surrounding farms for the sum of £5,000.00. He was responsible for some of the building, but died before deriving any benefit from his work.

Bavington Hall is classified as a Grade II* Listed Building, the interpretation of that description is one of national interest.

This is an opportunity for one to appreciate the past, the present owner has given the 15 remaining acres of the original estate a new lease of life, establishing a future that would otherwise be in doubt. Decay has been arrested, a partnership made with nature to secure the preservation of this estate and for all to see.
