Full description

The Baud manor house, swept away by the Capel family in the 16th century, dated to the 1440s. Little of it survives other than (possibly) the great barn [4248] and part of the gatehouse [30902]. The owner of Hadham Hall [1981] at the beginning of the 20th century, William Minet, carried out excavations during construction of an extension <3, 4>, and produced a plan <4, 5> 'of the earlier hall and contemporary buildings, the remains of which underlie the present upper lawn, orchard and walled garden' <5>. Parts of this house were revealed in evaluation trenches in 1992 <5>. Its full extent is not known but it was evidently large, and on a different alignment to the present house.
