Luxurious Accommodation

Lemmington Hall’s luxurious wedding accommodation includes an impressive wedding suite and six individually designed guest suites.

Laced with history and character, each lavishly styled room is named after the families who have renovated, restored and resided in the property over the generations.

 

Lady A’s Wedding Suite
1919

Lady A’s Wedding Suite is named after the wife of Stephen Henry Aitchison, who bought the Lemmington Estate in 1913.

Aitchison originally from Wiltshire, came to the North to work in 1890 and later married Alice Mary Willson in 1891. Aitchison set to work restoring the Estate where he erected a stone in the wall of the stable block in commemoration of the year he first visited Lemmington. He also installed a three feet high block remembering the signing of the peace treaty which ended in world war 1, near the front drive. Aitchison also planted seven cedar of Lebanon trees and in 1916, he had fully restored the Hall and the family were able to take up permanent residence.

Lady A’s wedding suite includes a show-stopping Super King-Sized Bed, dressing table, breakfast table, crystal lighting, a private dressing room and a lavish 4-piece En-suite.

Ruff Suite
2004

The Ruff Suite is named after the family who currently own and reside at Lemmington Hall.

Since purchasing the Hall back in 2004, they have enjoyed many years together in their family home before deciding to undertake a major renovation in 2022, to launch the Georgian Manor as a Summer Destination Wedding Venue.

The Ruff’s venue portfolio includes multi award-winning wedding venue Ellingham Hall and family gastro pub The Highlander in Ponteland.

This year will see the first summer weddings take place and our couples love story will play an important part in Lemmington’s fascinating legacy.

Pawson Suite
1825

The Pawson Guest Suite is named after William H. Pawson who purchased Lemmington Hall in 1825. Pawson already owned the Shawdon and Titlington Estates close by and over the years made some improvements to Lemmington Hall.

However towards the 1880s his financial situation deteriorated and the Hall was left uncultivated and in disrepair. In the years that followed the Hall was occupied by a variety of tenants or caretakers until it was purchased in 1913 by Stephen Henry Aitchison.

This timeless suite features a double bed, dressing table, breakfast area, antique sofa and stylish 3 piece En-suite.

Fenwick Suite
1716

The Fenwick Guest Suite is named after Nicholas Fenwick, whose legacy shaped our magnificent Georgian Manor and Walled Garden.

The upper part of the Pele Tower, now known as The Forgotten Tower, was removed and the building was refaced in stone and incorporated into a country house built for Nicholas Fenwick.

This affluent suite includes a Super King-Sized Bed, dressing table, breakfast area, feature fireplace, cosy window seats and 3 piece En-suite, ensuring a truly memorable stay for your guests in our luxurious wedding accommodation.

The grand Clavering Guest Suite is named after Sir James Clavering who became the owner of Lemmington Hall in 1685 and whom resided at the Hall until his death in 1707.

The Bydnall Guest Suite is named after the first owner of Lemmington to appear in written accounts – Adam de Bydnall, in 1336. The Pele Tower, now known as The Forgotten Tower, is the oldest part of Lemmington Hall which dates back to the 11th century.

It was built as a protection against the marauding Scots who regularly crossed the border to roam and rob. This L-shaped tower, a semi-fortified building was three storeys high with a vaulted ground floor and spiral staircase. The roof was surmounted by turrets which were small elevated look outs used to warn people of the oncoming raids. The Bydnall era ended in 1683 where it became the property of Sir James Clavering.
