Crook Hall

About

Crook Hall, sited near Lanchester, County Durham, some 8 miles (13 km) north west of the city of Durham, was the seat of the Baker family and one of two Roman Catholic seminaries which temporarily replaced the Douai seminary in Douai, France when that college was suppressed soon after the French Revolution. Crook Hall was itself superseded after a few years by Ushaw College.
