Belsay Hall is a Regency style country house located at Belsay, Northumberland. It is regarded as the first British country house to be built entirely in the new Greek revival style.[1] It is a Grade I listed building.[2] It was built to supersede Belsay Castle and its adjoining earlier hall just a few hundred yards away, and is part of the same estate.[3]
