The new Cresswell Hall was built between 1821-5 by John Shaw. By 1930 structural faults were said to be apparent and part of the building had already been demolished. The rest of the Hall was demolished some time after 1938. The stable block, built in 1829 and some arcading remain and are a Grade II Listed Building protected by law. The gardens of the Hall were landscaped and included lawns, rock gardens, flower borders and many trees and shrubs. There was a miniature railway. And a conservatory housed exotic plants. The most striking feature of the grounds were avenues of evergreen shrubs. The rockery was formed from the vertebrae or jaw bone of a whale stranded at Lynemouth.
