Baylis House

Baylis House is a Grade I listed building currently operating as a hotel and business centre in Slough, Berkshire, England.

[citation needed] It is representative of the plain Dutch style that was popular in England after post-Civil war restoration of the English monarchy in 1660.

The house, which was also known as "Whitmarsh" was excepted from a 1689 settlement between Dr. Sancroft, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Sir Robert Gayer and sold to Dr. Gregory Hascard, who had become Dean of Windsor in 1684.

The Osborne family acquired the house in 1733, and tenants from this time included the fourth Earl of Chesterfield, and Alexander Wedderburn, Baron Loughborough.

George Godolphin Osborne, the tenth Duke of Leeds, sold it to a Mr Woods, who turned it into the Food Reform Establishment.

It became a centre for management training, and was an incubator for the first wave of experts involved in the introduction and development of computers into the business world.
