glass in ogee, behind wide arch on columns {1}. Monkton Hall is a late 18th century mansion which once stood in substantial ground. It was constructed c.1760 by William Bruce. It was bought in the late 1770s by the Major family who retained it until the mid 19th century. It then passed to Wililam Snowball. During this period the hall was extended to the north and east. After passing through the hands of numerous tenants, the hall was bought in 1903 by Francis Scott, a market gardener. He cultivated the grounds around the building but opened out the Hall as a home for mentally handicapped boys. The venutre was adopted by a trust and then taken over by the NHS in 1948. It was further extended during the 20th century with most additions being well-designed and subservient. The hall retains many internal and external features including cornices, window cases, panelling and quions. The house was recorded in 2011 by NAA. The western extent of the grounds has been truncated by Campbell Park Road. Associated with the Hall's hospital use, the grounds were developed in the 1970s with a large complex of brick and concrete residential and administration buildings in a sparse institutional style. One building is enlivened by applied mosaic depicting images of Jarrow and Bede. The rubble stone boundary wall, gate piers, circular carriage drive, expanses of grass and the trees create a simple quiet and attractive enclave. A watching brief and programme of recording was undertaken by NAA during restoration/demolition and construction works in 2012.
