BAWDESWELL HALL Bawdeswell Hall
carries the date 1683 and is a gracious building with Dutch Gables. It was built by
Henry Eglinton and it remained in his family until 1748 when it was bought by
Thomas Jecks. Thomas Jecks
died in 1761 leaving an only child Elizabeth, then under 21, who by 1766 had
become the wife of Richard Lloyd of Bylaugh Hall. Their daughter Diana
married James Stoughton, Rector of Sparham, who bought the property from the
other children of Richard Lloyd and Elizabeth. James
Stoughton's grandson Clarke Hallett Lloyd Stoughton sold the property in 1912
to Colonel Q E Gurney. After his death
the property passed to his son R Q Gurney, and after a tragic accident in
1980 when his horse threw him, it passed to his son David Q Gurney. MORE
