Mount Oswald
Mount Oswald is a country house in County Durham. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The house was built for John Richardby, a London merchant, in 1800. It was bought by Thomas Wilkinson, a former mayor of Durham, in 1806 and it then passed to the Rev Percival Spearman Wilkinson, a cousin, in 1828.[2] Percival Spearman Wilkinson commissioned Phillip Wyatt to expand the house in 1830.[3] The house was acquired by Durham City Golf Club in 1928, by North of England Estates, who operated it as a conference centre, in around 1970 and then by the Banks Group, property developers, in May 2014.[3] In August 2014 the University of Durham acquired part of the site on Mount Oswald and entered into a contract with Banks Group to build accommodation for 1,000 students.[4][5]
