Summary

Description
English: Washington Old Hall is a manor house in the centre of the old Washington village, now surrounded by the Washington new town development. The original building was built in the 12th century and was owned by the ancestral family of George Washington, first president of the United States. The current building is from the 17th century. By the late 18th century the building had been split into tenements for local mining families. The squalid conditions within lead to the house being listed as unfit for habitation in 1932 leading to speculation that it would be demolished. Following restoration in the 1950s the Hall is now in the care of the National Trust.
