Swann’s Field, near Clayport Bank, was an ancient field, part of the possessions of the Knights of St John of Jerusalem. The old house, built in the late 17C or early 18C, is mentioned in 1769 as being held by Richard Grieve, who sold it to Henry Collingwood Selby Esq., the Duke’s steward.
Selby carried out extensive alterations to the house from 1823 onwards, the work being done by Robert Hall, mason of Alnwick, to the designs of John Dobson, the Newcastle architect.
The Camphill Column in Alnwick, Northumberland, is a stone column erected in 1814, celebrating a number of British victories over the French and others, and the restoration of peace to Europe. It carries inscriptions to Pitt, Wellington, Nelson and its progenitor, Henry Collingwood Selby. The column is a Grade II* listed building.
