A number of restoration projects are taking place

A number of restoration projects are taking place behind the scenes at Lambton Park, funded by the redevelopment works taking place on part of the Estate.
One of the most intriguing projects will be the restoration of these stunning gates, which historically guarded the formal entrance to Lambton Castle. The gates, in an Eastern European style, are believed to be unique in the UK. We believe the gates were erected in the latter half of the 19th Century, but have been unable to establish who designed them, where they were made, or indeed which member of the Lambton family commissioned them. The gates will take 6 to 8 months to restore to their former glory. We are hopeful we may even find a maker’s mark as part of the process, which will help us to establish more of their history. #lambtonparkuk #historicpreservation #preservinghistory #historicseatoftheearlsofdurham #thisisdurham
