Axwell House (also Axwell Hall) is a mansion house and Grade II* listed building, situated at Axwell Park, Blaydon, Tyne and Wear.
An early manor house on the site was acquired by James Clavering, a merchant adventurer of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1629 for £1700.[1] In 1758 his descendant Sir Thomas Clavering replaced the house with a substantial mansion and assisted architect James Paine (1712–1789) in the Palladian design of the new house.[2]
The hall was converted for use as the Newcastle Ragged School in 1920.[3]
Having stood empty, neglected and deteriorating the property was acquired in 2005 by property developers for restoration and conversion to residential apartments.[4]
