Aldingham Hall

  • Description

    Building of Aldingham Hall was begun in 1846 by Revr Dr. John Stonard , then rector of the parish, and took four years to build. Stonard never saw it finished, however, as he died in 1849 and left it to his man servant, Edward Jones Schollick who had reportedly saved his master's life on the sands of Morecambe Bay. Schollick was an interesting character who became a local philanthropist with interests in shipbuilding and iron ore mining. He was unpopular, however, and emigrated to Australia in 1876. (Info from Wikipedia) It has since been a convalescence home and is now St Cuthbert's Residential Home
