Remodelled and enlarged 1869-84 by R. Norman Shaw. Home of Lord William Armstrong, the famous Victorian engineer. Lord Armstrong was a lawyer who took up a second career as an inventor, gunmaker and engineer. His scientific knowledge was put to good use at Cragside. The kitchen was equipped with a hydraulic service lift and a spit powered by water from a lake above the house. In the 1880s the house had hot and cold running water, central heating, fire alarms, telephones, a Turkish bath suite and a passenger lift, but most remarkable of all it was the first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity. The house is now cared for by the National Trust.
