    Amazing response to sale of Newton Hall treasures
    THE sale of the contents of a “time capsule” Northumbrian mansion made double the expected total in London yesterday.

    The auction by Christies of almost 300 lots from Newton Hall, near Alnwick, raised £876,787, against a pre-sale estimate of £400,000.

    The mansion, built in 1722, was the home of the influential land owning Widdrington family and also has links to the Cooks and the Herons.

    The sale followed the death in 2008 of the last of the Newton Widdrington line, Captain Francis Newton Heron Widdrington.
