BAYLEAF BEDROOM

Singleton Open Air Museum - West Sussex

Bayleaf is a timber-framed house with a central hall, heated by an open fire, dating mainly from the early 15th century. With replica furniture and equipment, the farmstead is presented at Singleton as it might have been in about 1540. Beyond the hall is the solar, an upper chamber used as the family’s private bed-sitting room, which has its own privy projecting from the wall of the house. This originally eiher emptied straight into an open cess-pit or there may have been some kind of covered conduit, but the contents were used as garden manure.
