More about this scene
The neighbouring estate to the Chaloners' Gisborough estate, the Hutton and Pinchinthorpe estate, was bought in the 1860s by the Quaker industrialist, Joseph Whitwell Pease of Darlington. He commissioned the renowned Victorian architect, Alfred Waterhouse (who designed the Natural History Museum in London) to design a new mansion, Hutton Hall, which was completed in 1867; it replaced a much older house, whose foundations can still be traced today. After the completion of Hutton Hall, Sir Joseph set about landscaping the park surrounding the Hall and the nearby village, introducing specimen trees from many parts of the world, many of which survive today, adding enormously to the character of the Hutton area. Sir Joseph had his own private railway station close by at Hutton Gate, and he laid out an imposing driveway to the Hall to mark his son's 21st birthday, known today as the Avenue. The Hutton and Pinchinthorpe estate was sold by auction and split up in 1902 following the collapse of the Pease's business empire, and the Hall was bought by J W Pickering, a prosperous ship owner.
