About this work

This print shows a grand old house called Houghton Hall. Built in the 1500s, it sat on Hall Lane in County Durham for centuries. A print from 1816 captures its look for readers of the Gentleman’s Magazine. The artist I. Griffith made the print after a drawing by Edward Blore. The original drawing was first turned into a print in 1815 by George Cooke. Check out more prints by Griffith, I. at the Victoria and Albert Museum.
