Loading... Bayons Manor, Lincolnshire
The country seat of the Tennyson family.
Bayons Manor at Tealby, Lincolnshire, was owned by Charles Tennyson d'Eyncourt, the uncle of Alfred Lord Tennyson, the Poet Laureate. In 1944 the estate was purchased by local farmer Reginald Drakes, primarily for the farmland. The house had become derelict and in 1964 it was demolished. The yellow Lincolnshire stone from which it was built was used to make a road on the estate. Elton John's songwriter Bernie Taupin lived in a nearby cottage in Tealby and this was the origin of the song "Yellow Brick Road" - it was nothing to do with the Wizard of Oz.
