The building at top left is St Mary's vicarage, this was built around 1830 on the site of a former vicarage though much enlarged.
To the right of the vicarage is the 7th century St Mary's Church which was possibly built on the site of an earlier wooden church.
At the centre is Seaham Hall during conversion to a hotel, in 1792 the Milbanke's demolished their Seaham Cottage on this site and built a grand hall. The square section left of centre is I believe their original hall which was much enlarged by the Londonderry's shortly after they acquired the estate in 1821. During the course of the extensions they swept away the village inn and the various cottages surrounding the green. At the same time they moved the Home Farm from it's original location to the south of the Hall to it's present location at bottom right of photograph.
