Wylam Hall has its own private entrance and is not easy to see. For those with long inquisitive necks it is just possible to catch this glimpse over the high wall from Ovingham Road. The building mainly dates from the C19th but incorporates some stonework of the Sporting House of a monastery built in 1405 by Prior Wheathampstead of Tynemouth.
