Grid Ref : NY9659050360
Summary : Hotel incorporating the west claustral range of Blanchland Abbey (probably abbot's lodge, guest house and kitchen). 13th and 15th century, remodelled in the mid-18th century. After the Dissolution the range became the house of the Forster family; Thomas Forster, awaiting trial at Newgate for his part in the 1715 rebellion, escaped with the aid of his sister Dorothy and is reputed to have hidden for a time in the "priest's hole" before going into exile in France.
