Baynham Hall

Baynham Hall is a Grade II* listed 17th century manor house located in Michaelchurch-On-Arrow, Gladestry, Powys, Wales.

Originally built circa 1700, the stone house was added to an earlier wing of the previous property and developments. Of William and Mary-aged proportions across five bays, it has a tall hipped roof, pediment gable containing a Venetian window, and tall chimney stacks. Internally the house contains a period staircase with contemporary turned ballastrades. Adjacent to the main house is an L-shaped 18th century corn barn with byres.

In 1830, Hugh Lloyd originally of Llanddewi Ystradenny, Radnorshire, purchased Baynham Hall from William Trumper.

It was Grade II* listed on the 21 September 1962, and forms part of the Cadw registry of ancient Welsh buildings.

Hall

In architecture, a hall is a relatively large space enclosed by a roof and walls. In the Iron Age, a mead hall was such a simple building and was the residence of a lord and his retainers. Later, rooms were partitioned from it, and the space next to the front door became the entrance hall. Today, the (entrance) hall of a house is the space next to the front door or vestibule leading to the rooms directly and/or indirectly. Where the hall inside the front door of a house is elongated, it may be called a passage, corridor (from Spanish corredor used in El Escorial and 100 years later in Castle Howard) or hallway.

Other meanings

The term hall is often used to designate a British or Irish country house such as a hall house, or specifically a Wealden hall house, and manor houses.

In later medieval Europe, the main room of a castle or manor house was the great hall. In a medieval building, the hall was where the fire was kept. With time, its functions as dormitory, kitchen, parlour and so on were divided off to separate rooms or, in the case of the kitchen, a separate building.
