English / Bayleaf Farmhouse and
Farmstead |
Bayleaf is a timber framed hall house, dating from the early 15th Century.
This property is often used by history re-enactment groups and costumed
interpreters. With it's
authentic interior and beautiful garden, the atmosphere of medieval times is
recreated and encourages enthusiastic and critical work in drama,
literature, prose and poetry. We use this property for Tudor Textiles and
Period Workshops. The house is part of a bigger complex known as the
Bayleaf farmstead. The farmstead group consists of the farmhouse with
its extensive garden; a barn and farmyard, orchards and shaws (small
woodlands) and is intended to have the character and detail of the original
setting of the house in the 16th century.
