| Netherhall stables - © Bernard Sharp |
From the later eighteenth century several Hull merchants and bankers built large houses around the ancient village of Sutton on Hull, three miles north-east of the city - among them Sutton Grange, Sutton House and Sutton Hall (now Netherhall). Hull banker Henry Bedford bought the site of Sutton
Hall in 1804 and built his grey-brick villa c.1810, while later residents included the Bocher family and Henry Fawcett Pudsey. The house (after 1846 known as Netherhall) is Victorian in external appearance; it was altered and extended in 1873, when a Corinthian order, balustrades and cornices were added. However, evidence of the earlier villa remains in the late-Georgian gate
piers set back at the ends of quadrant walls. The house also possesses a fine detached former stable block fronting Wawne Road.
