Listed Building record MDO27685 - Bay House, Old School Lane, Iwerne Minster

(Area ST 868144) Bay House, adjacent to the 'Chantry' on the west, is of two storeys, with brick walls and tiled roofs; the greater part of the building is of the late 19th century, but it incorporates early features and evidently replaces an earlier house. Projecting at the east end of the north front is a stone porch in which the plinth is continuous with that of the north wall of 'The Chantry'. Over the porch is a chamber with timber-framed walls. Projecting northwards at the west end of the same front is a two-storeyed wing with walls of flint and rubble in the lower storey, and of timber-framework above; the upper storey is jettied and gabled on the north, the gable having cusped bargeboards, probably of circa 1500.
