The National Trust of Britain and it's American arm, The Royal Oak Foundation, have raised nearly $5 million to save Seaton Delaval Hall in Newcastle. The 1731 landmark was designed by famed architect Sir John Vanbrugh (who designed Blenheim Palace and Castle Howard), and is said to be one of Britain's most important Baroque country houses. In spring 2010 it will open to the public for tours and events, bringing the north-eastern part of England a much needed tourist attraction.
