Howick Hall in Northumberland is the ancestral home of the Earls Grey including Charles 2nd Earl Grey the Prime Minister from 1830 - 1834 after whom Earl Grey tea is named. The house originates in 1782 although there have been changes over the years, notably some remodelling after a serious fire in 1926. However, it remains a family home although much of the ground floor is open to visitors. The main attractions though are some impressive gardens and woodland walks and the family church which is within the grounds.
