The Details

Discover The Stunning Wedding Venue in County Durham that is Dalton Old Pump House or as we like to call her...Lady Dalton. Designed by the renowned engineer Thomas Hawksley between 1873-1879, Dalton Old Pump House is a stunning and imposing Grade II listed building. A water pumping station in her previous life, Lady Dalton has pretty much stood empty and derelict since WWII until her careful restoration which started in 2020.

There are many venues in England, but nowhere quite like this. She is unique and stands as a reminder of times gone by where attention to detail and a passion for excellence were more prevalent.
