Byefleet Park, 1912, (1914). Artist: Jamess Ogilvy
Byefleet Park, 1912, (1914). Byfleet Manor is a Grade II listed house in Byfleet, Surrey. Byfleet Manor has been used as a filming location in three television series, most notably Downton Abbey. Byfleet Manors precursor was a royal hunting lodge given by Edward II to Piers Gaveston, his reputed lover. Anne of Denmark, the houses last royal owner commissioned a new house here in 1619 of which the front walls and gate piers date. In 1672 the lands were granted to Lord Hollis and others to hold in trust for Queen Catherine of Braganza for her life, and afterwards for Charles II of England and his heirs. The home remained virtually unaltered until 1905, when it was restored and enlarged with the addition of asymmetrical wings. From A Pilgrimage In Surrey, Vol. 1, by James S. Ogilvy.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Byefleet Park, taken in 1912 by artist James Ogilvy, offers a glimpse into the rich history and grandeur of Byfleet Manor. Located in Surrey, this Grade II listed house has played a prominent role as a filming location in various television series, most notably the beloved Downton Abbey. Byfleet Manor's origins trace back to a royal hunting lodge gifted by Edward II to his alleged lover Piers Gaveston. However, it was Anne of Denmark who commissioned the construction of a new house on these grounds in 1619. The front walls and gate piers that still stand today are remnants from this era. In 1672, Lord Hollis and others were entrusted with the lands for Queen Catherine of Braganza's lifetime before passing them on to Charles II and his heirs. Remarkably unchanged until 1905, when restoration work took place along with the addition of asymmetrical wings that enhanced its magnificence. The photograph captures both the timeless beauty and architectural splendor of Byfleet Manor as depicted in James S. Ogilvy's book "A Pilgrimage In Surrey". Published by George Routledge & Sons Limited in London during 1914, this image transports us back to an era where opulence met natural serenity.
