The Bower House, Havering-atte-Bower, Essex
This view of the rear (Southern) elevation shows the two extra wings added at about 1800. The elevated position of the house commands an extensive view over the South Essex countryside, over the rooftops of the town of Romford and away over the Thames to the hills of Kent.

The Mahogany staircase, The Bower House, Havering-ate-Bower, Essex
This large double flight staircase constructed in the finest mahogany is one of the earliest uses of this very expensive wood, made doubly so by the imposition of the crushing import tax that wasn't lifted until 1733. This view shows the art work of Sir James Thornhill who painted the murals lining the three walls. This wall has been painted to appear as ridged stonework as a backing for the round sepia toned scene. See also Image andImage

Impressive fire surround at The Bower House, Havering-atte-Bower
This wonderful fireplace was salvaged from the Royal Palace of Havering Bower, which was situated atop the nearby hill, the centre of the present Havering village. The fireplace bears a plaque carrying an inscription dated 1729 commemorating the transfer. There is also at the top of the chimney piece a carved angel corbel bearing the arms of King Edward the third (1327-1377) which attests to its antiquity. See also Image and Image

The Bower House, Havering-atte-Bower, Essex
The Bower House is a Georgian mansion of red brick and Welsh slate construction built in 1729 for the wealthy barrister John Baynes having achieved the rank of "Serjeant at Law". The house was originally named "Monthavering". At just 14 miles, the site was chosen to be sufficiently close to the city of London, yet set in the peaceful countryside where the Baynes family had owned land for generations, where John and his family could enjoy the fresh clean air. But poor John died just five years later aged 60. The name of the house was changed to its present title after the death of John's wife Mary at about 1771. After many changes of ownership (which in 1946 included the Ilford Film Company who carried out some major restorations) the buildings are now used for the purpose of Christian religious training.
