Jesmond Dene House


Jesmond Dene House is a hotel on Jesmond Dene Road in Jesmond, Newcastle. The original Georgian house, designed by John Dobson, was built in 1822 for for T.E. Headlam. In 1851, Dobson made substantial changes to the house for its new owner, William Cruddas. Then in 1871 the house was purchased by Captain Andrew Noble, a partner in Lord William Armstrong’s Tyneside-based shipbuilding and armaments business. Noble commissioned leading 'Arts and Crafts' architect Norman Shaw, and local architect Frank Rich, to double the size of the house adding a west wing, billiard room, Gothic porch, Great Hall and a fleet of bedrooms. After Sir Andrew’s widow died, in 1929, the house was used for a variety of puposes - a college, Civil Defence establishment (tunnels still exist under the house), seminary and, then as a residential school. After a period of disuse, the house was converted into a hotel, which opened in 2005. Jesmond Dene House is a Grade II listed building on the National Heritage List for England.
