Dame Margaret’s Hall
Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell and his wife Margaret, grand-parents of Gertrude Bell, lived in Washington New Hall on The Avenue. After Margaret’s death in 1871, Sir Isaac set up an orphanage in the house, named Dame Margaret Home. It later became a Dr Barnardo’s home until World War II.
