Baynards Park, In Surrey, which has been privately sold, was an ancient Royal hunting seat, and was a part of the dower of Katherine Parr when she married Henry VIII. A statue of Edwards VI was once discovered in the house carefully walled up. A part of the house is pure Tudor, with a gate house, and a part good Elizabethan, but much of it is modern. The front and the oriels are very admirable, and the interior has handsome rooms and a fine staircase. The manor belonged after the middle of the fifteenth century to the Brazes, the Mores, the Evelyns, the Montagues, and the Onslows; and from 1832 until 1888 it was owned by members of the Thurlow family. The house contains the handsome charter chest in which Sir Thomas More's head was kept by his granddaughter, Elizabeth Roper, Lady Bray. The head was subsequently buried in the family vault of the Ropers under St. Dunstan's Church, Canterbury.
