Solberge Hall Hotel near Northallerton, Yorkshire is a Georgian house of historical significance. It was built in 1824 by John Hutton, a local landowner. It remained in the Hutton family for about one hundred years and was then purchased by Benjamin Talbot the inventor. It is now a hotel which provides accommodation and restaurant services and caters for special events particularly weddings. ==The Hutton family== John Hutton (1794-1857) built Solberge Hall in 1824. He was born in 1794 in Newby Wiske. His father was Robert Hutton and his mother was Margaret Squire. The Hutton family had purchased Sober Gate which is adjacent to Solberge Hall in 1684 and had lived there since then.〔 Saywell, J. L. “The history and annals of Northallerton, Yorkshire”, p. 189.

John inherited this property when he came of age and in 1821 he bought Solberge Manor from George Osbaldeston the famous cricketer.〔British History Online, “Kirby Wiske”.

John lived with his sister Margaret for some years but tragically she died in 1833 at the age of 36. He erected a very elaborate memorial to her in St Michael’s and All Angels Church in North Otterington which can be seen today. It was considered to be a very artistic work and the British Museum still holds an illustration of the monument.〔British museum website.
