Seaton Delaval Hall, Northumberland

Seaton Delaval Hall is a country house in Northumberland, England. It was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh in 1718 for Admiral George Delaval. The style of architecture is known as English Baroque, based on the Palladian style introduced into the England by Inigo Jones. Vanbrugh evolved the style from the more decorated and architecturally lighter continental Baroque popular in Europe.
