Britain's What's On Event Guide
Collingwood House
Heritage Open Day: Georgian house of historical importance as the home of Admiral Lord Collingwood and now the Presbystery of St. Robert of Newminster's church which is nearby and is also open. Admiral Lord Collingwood was Nelson's second-in-command at the Battle of Trafalgar.
Lord Collingwood spent long periods of time away at sea but this Georgian house in Morpeth was where his family lived. Although his visits home were rare, he wrote fondly of his time spent here in Morpeth.
This house is now the Presbytery of St Robert's R.C. Church which will be open at the same time.
