WELCOME TO KELHAM HALL, NEWARK

Kelham Hall is a magnificent Victorian Mansion set within 42 acres of gardens and parkland, and is the perfect setting for all types of business and social events.

The original building was destroyed by fire in 1857 and the owner, Mr Manners-Sutton chose George Gilbert Scott, architect of the Albert memorial and St Pancras Station to design the new Kelham Hall.

Unashamedly "Gothic" this Victorian mansion remains an impressive landmark in the Trent valley. The hall was completed in 1861, although by then the money had run out and certain detail such as the clock tower were left unfinished.

Alterations were made to the hall by the monks of the Society of the Sacred Mission, who purchased the house in 1903 for use as a theological training college as well as their Mother House.

In the 1920's the original entrance to Kelham Hall was considerably altered by the addition of the new quadrangle. In 1927-1928 a chapel was added with a huge byzantinesque style (6th Century Eastern Empire architecture) Dome, which provides a considerable contrast to the original structure.

The focal point of this magnificent chapel must surely be the impressive "Flying Archway" and the unusual "herringbone" brickwork.

Within the grounds of the building, nestled between the trees is the picturesque Church of Kelham Parish.

Kelham Hall is now a wonderful setting for your Wedding day, conferences and a variety of social events.
