Baynton House, English country house in Coulston, United Kingdom.
Baynton House is an English country house in Coulston built from rendered brick with a seven-bay front facing east. The building sits within landscaped grounds that feature open parkland and a natural lake on the estate.
Construction began in 1658 when Francis Godolphin commissioned the house as a residence for his family. The property became established as an important gentry estate during this period of English country house building.
The discovery of the Baynton Hoard in 1830 yielded 365 Roman coins, with 101 specimens now displayed at the Wiltshire Museum in Devizes.
The house holds Grade II listed status, which means any modifications require specialist planning and approvals. Visitors should check access arrangements in advance as opening times and touring options may vary seasonally.
Roman coins were discovered on the grounds, revealing evidence of ancient settlement in the area. Some of these finds from the 19th century are now preserved in regional collections.
