Today Hutton-in-the-Forest reflects centuries of history and change. A house of six periods between the mid 14th and the mid 19th centuries, Hutton is a rich illustration of the development of the country house in the North of England.
A tour through the many rooms at Hutton is a remarkable journey in time. From the medieval Stone Hall to the high Victorian Drawing Room and the splendid Hall, the rooms are rich in history and notable for their contents. Every room has fine examples of furniture of its period and there is also an interesting collection of contemporary ceramics.
The South Front
The South Front was remodelled in the time of Sir Frederick Vane 2nd Bart.
The appearance of the South Front, overlooking the Terraces, was significantly altered at the beginning of the 19th Century. The round-headed windows were the work of the architect William Nixon of Carlisle and the castellations were added later in the century by Anthony Salvin.
