Baynards Park Mansion

Baynards Park Mansion is a historic mansion built by Sir George More of Loseley after 1587. It was extended and remodeled around 1832 to 1840 by The Rev. Thomas Thurlow, who worked with architects Thomas Rickman and Benjamin Ferrey. There may have been further remodeling by Sir Matthew Digby Wyatt. In 1979, a significant portion of the house was destroyed by fire, leaving only the clock tower from the 19th century intact. The brick tower features stone angle quoins and is whitewashed on the lower sections. Above it is a stone cupola topped with a lead ogee-dome and a weathervane finial. Each face of the upper stage of the tower has a stone panel, and there are small dormers in the dome. The tower now stands in an overgrown brick-paved courtyard.
