Baron's Wood farm, Zeal Monachorum. A manor and the home of a branch of the Oxenham family from at least as early as the 17th century till the early 19th century. Details of a 1637 survey are given. Included with it at the time was East Newton in the same parish.

Baronswood was 'Baronyswode' in 1482. The house seems to have been entirely rebuilt for the Pedler family in 1861. Groundworks for the conversion of a barn in 2006 identified two undated ditches which predated the present farm buildings & may relate to one of the earlier enclosures at the farmstead. Other details: Figs 2-6.
