Bayllols Manor

Bayllols Manor is a manor house, now a residential property, with origins dating back to around 1280. It features a three-bay range that forms a cross-wing to the left, alongside a hall and a four-bay cross-wing to the right, which were constructed around 1365. The hall was floored in 1589, and there have been some later alterations. The building has a brick plinth and is constructed with large timber framing that is tension-braced, with roughcast infill. It has an old plain-tile complex roof with gabled cross-wings on either side, and a massive brick ridge stack located to the left of center, along with other brick stacks.

The manor has a double-ended hall house plan, is single storey with an attic, and features a two-bay central range flanked by two-storey cross-wings. There is a mid-14th century porch to the left of center, which includes an ogee-headed wood archway and a gabled roof with cusped bargeboards. The entrance has a two-centre arched doorway with a mid-14th century plank studded door. To the right of center, there is a sash door that likely has a 19th-century open gabled porch. The fenestration is irregular, consisting of three-light 19th-century casements, and there is a gabled dormer to the right of center.

Inside, the manor features crown-post roofs in the cross-wings and a base-cruck central truss in the original hall, which has an embattled cross-beam with a crown-post above. There are 19th-century winder staircases to the left and right of center, and original two-centre wood arched doorways leading to the screens passage. Moulded brackets support three beams carrying the 1589 floor of the hall, with one bracket dated. The dining room, located in the former hall, boasts a massive open fireplace with a wooden bressumer.

Historically, Bayllols Manor was likely owned by the Bayllol family from around 1200 to 1350, then by the Brounz family from approximately 1350 to 1437, before passing by descent until it was purchased by William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, in 1484.
