What to see

The Blacketts and the history of Wallington: The Blacketts were a Newcastle family who built their wealth from lead and coal mines. They bought Wallington for its land and as a country retreat from their main home at Anderson Place in Newcastle, purchasing it from the greatly indebted Fenwick family. Ten generations of the Blackett and Trevelyan families went on to live here. Discover how some of the estate’s key owners shaped the Wallington we know today.
