Notable buildings include Baythorne Mill, Baythorne Hall, which dates from 1341 and the mansion and estate at Baythorne Park. Baythorne Hall is an early manor house of exceptionally high quality and exceptionally good state of survival, one of the earliest known examples of the hall house with contemporary jettied crosswings, which later was to become a common form.
The estate was purchased by George Pyke in 1640, where he built the Baythorne Park mansion some 28 years later. The mansion was somewhat larger than Baythorne Hall. Baythorne Park continued to be owned by the Pyke family for well over 200 years.
