Old Conduit House

Burlison was Bell's father-in-law and a door originally separated the two properties.

Charles Buckridge designed a Gothic interior for Bell in the new house.

[1] Old Conduit Lodge was built in the grounds of Bayford house as a wedding present for the owner's daughter.

The upper floors of Old Conduit House were divided into bedsits in the 20th century.

The novelist Fay Weldon was a frequent visitor and wrote about the house in her 1995 novel Splitting.
