About

Wallington is a country house and gardens located about 12 miles (19 km) west of Morpeth, Northumberland, England, near the village of Cambo. It has been owned by the National Trust since 1942, after it was donated complete with the estate and farms by Sir Charles Philips Trevelyan, 3rd Baronet, the first donation of its kind. It is a Grade I listed building. Some of the wealth of the Trevelyan family derived from the holding of slaves in Grenada.

Built in 1688 on the site of a medieval castle, transformed in the mid-18th century. The central hall, designed by John Dobson in 1853-54, features murals by William Bell Scott depicting Northumberland's history. At 13,500 acres, it's the National Trust's largest intact estate. Given to the Trust in 1941.
