In 1920 Windlestone Hall became the Wayfarers Benevolent Association Headquarters and over the years has also been used as a Prisoner of War Camp, a refugee centre and a residential school used by Durham County Council. The park was laid out in the late 18th century, with the addition of terraced gardens in the 19th century. The park and gardens contain a number of features, parkland and formal gardens.
