bylaugh hall
Bylaugh (pronounced beela, sometimes mis-spelt as Belaugh) is a tiny hamlet with a Saxon round towered church nestling by the river Wensum which flows on to Norwich. There is an Old Hall built in the 15th Century surrounded by lovely farm buildings and cottages belonging to the King family. Most of the other houses in this hamlet were built by the Evans-Lombe family for the Estate.
This new Bylaugh Hall is a small Stately Home built by Charles Barry (Architect of the Houses of Parliament) in 1850. In 1950 it was partially demolished and abandoned to the elements. Now it is coming gradually back to life.
