Summary

Description from record TQ 96 SW 47:
[TQ 9474 6146] Bogle [NAT] (1) Beaugill, Lynsted, is a beautiful specimen of a mixed Tudor and Jacobean house. Now the property of Dr. Selby, it has passed through the hands of the Drurys, Hugessons and Barlings. A long red-bricked house, with a timber frame still showing. It has a prominent porch with a delicate board, in the centre of which appear 1643 and HWII of the Hugesson family. There is little doubt that Beaugill was a square thatched Tudor residence, added to in the 17th century with wings at either end. At the back is the original well court. The house has been converted by Dr. Selby into four tenements. (2) The house was originally plaster and timber, of an oblong shape with a thatched roof, but is now red Tudor brick and timber. Four rooms and the porch were added in 1643 and it seems likely that the brickwork and gate posts and Tudor barn were all of that date. (3) The spelling of Bogle is correct. Of the present two end wings at the rear of the house, the south one was added in 1917, using narrow brick in English Bond, and the north wing is of the 18th century. The small central outbuilding containing the old kitchen is contemporary with the house, and has been joined to the north wing with a corridor in our time." (4) A fine building in excellent condition, as described above, retaining most of its original features. Barn at "A" (TQ 9471 6143) built of early brick, but all features are modern restorations and the roof is modern. Used for a store and garage. GP/AO/59/197/4 House from N.W.: 197/5 Porch from west. (5) Bogle [NR] (6) Re-investigated: still as described above. (7) [TQ 9474 6144] Bogle [NR] (8) Bogle with garden wall (formerly listed as Beaugill), Grade II*, Lynsted Lane (east side). House. 16th century and extended c. 1643 and 20th century. (For full description see list.) (9) Beaugill, or Bogle; a timber-framed, brick-nogged house, dated 1643. Modern windows; but still a handsome piece of large-scale vernacular, with its red-brick garden walls and contemporary brick barn to the rear. (10) Additional bibliograpy (11-14)
