GORHAMBURY

 Of Sir Nicholas Bacon's mansion of 1568 the porch and masonry of the Hall and one projecting wing survive. The Porch is a would-be classical composition with Tuscan attached columns flanking the entrance arch on the ground floor, and Ionic columns and niches flanking the two-light flanking windows. It led to the screens passage. The dais end of the Hall is marked by a large window.
