Baildon Hall is a typical example of a 16C Manor House, built by Robert Baildon in 1553, on the site of a previous Mediaeval Manor House, part of which still remain in the South Wing which dates back to the 13C. Robert was a descendant of the Baildon family who had been connected with Baildon since the 1100s. Dividing the Hall body from the wing is a 14C Oak Screen passageway, the three archways would lead to a middle staircase for the upstairs Solar wing and rooms either side. The fireplaces were uncovered during restoration work during the 1960s. Originally the South Wing was a wattle & daub structure and was not encased in stone until 1683. There is a date stone with the date and the initials of Jane Baildon who was living there at that time. The main lounge has a fine 10ft fireplace and mullioned windows. Unfortunately 3 of the mullions were removed for a doorway during the 1800s. The large cupboard door on the wall dates back to Francis Baildon’s time and would be a store cupboard, there are the initials of Francis & Jane Baildon carved on it. The letter on the wall is a copy of the letter written by Francis in 1649 claiming back his estates which were taken away from him when he was a Ward of Court, due to his father and grandfather dying when he was a baby.
