Coxhoe Hall (c1725 - 1956)
In c1725 John Burdon built Coxhoe Hall in a castellated gothic style, replacing a much earlier manor house. The hall was situated in Coxhoe Woods, near the medieval village of Coxhoe, to the east of the modern settlement of Coxhoe. The poet and feminist Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861) was born at Coxhoe Hall. In 1846 she eloped with, and married, the poet Robert Browning. The Hall was bought by East Hetton Colliery Co. in 1938. Then in World War 2 the building was requisitioned for use as a prisoner of war camp, designated: 139b Coxhoe Hall Camp. After the war the hall fell into disrepair and was demolished by the National Coal Board in 1956.
