History
The first mention of the ‘Vill of Wynyard’ was in 1157 where ownership was given to the family Chapel or Capella.
The land passed through the family and was held in a dispute in 1237
between Hugh de Capella and Randolf de Fishburn. The land continues to
be developed as a manorial seat throughout the 14th 15th 16th centuries
passing through various families until the first half of the 17th
century when Alexander Davison bought the estate lands as they were
know. In 1723 the estate was sold to George Vane who whose
descendent Frances Anne Vane-Tempest married the 3rd marquis of
Londonderry. The current house, Built 1822, rebuilt 1841 after fire,
incorporates a late 18c mansion built by the Tempest Family and extends
over 325 acres, contains several lakes.
The current estate and house was bought by Sir John Hall as a private
residence in 1987 and land near to the A19 was later sold to Samsung
who developed on the site a large production and distribution facility.
The site in its current form was eventually bought, along with a
further 500 acres of adjoining land to the present owners and has
become Wynyard Park.
