History

Old Conduit House began life as two semi detached buildings named Bayford House and Oswald House, c.1864.

The main construction was overseen by John Burlison Sr (abt.1810-1868) with the assistance of his son-in-law Alfred Bell (1832-1895), from renowned stained glass window makers Clayton & Bell. The houses were intended for themselves and their families, and originally had an internal door between the two. There was also another building, Conduit Lodge, which was later demolished. The buildings were constructed near to Conduit Fields, meadows with a source of drinking water called Shepherd's Well. Fitzjohn's Avenue was built over the source in 1875, with the site of the well being marked by a drinking fountain and plaque. [1][2]

Burlison Sr. died in 1868 and Bell's family took over the whole building naming it Bayford House, after the village he lived in as a child in Dorset. The interior was renovated to a wildly ornamented gothic style, by Bell and Charles Buckeridge (1833-1873), who was married to his sister-in-law Ann (Burlison) Buckeridge (bef.1834-1919).

A detailed account of the interior of Bayford House was written by Bell's grandson, who knew it intimately.

"Upon entering the front door the outer wall presented the appearance of a mediaeval castle. The floor was laid with white marble and panels of tiles of mediaeval design. The walls were of rough yellow brickwork with a centre column from which sprang the groined roof. The principal staircase was of yellow brickwork with wooden Gothic ballustres.
Entrance Hall Bayford House

Through a colonnade of pointed arches one approached the Music Room, where, every Saturday evening, a large concourse of guests assembled to perform some religious oratorio, sometimes stages with full dress and scenery, such as Elijah, also secular works headed by Gilbert and Sullivan operettas and others. Upon these occasions eminent personalities would appear, such as Sir Arthur Sullivan himself, Sir Joseph Barnby, Edward Lloyd and on one occasion the Abbé Liszt came and played on the Steinway grand piano, the first George Grossmith, Charles Santley, Sir George Gilbert Scott and Antoinette Stirling. This room was fitted with a stage beyond an arched proscenium and with a trap door above for scenic effects. At the rear of the stage were marble columns surmounted by floriated capitals and supporting full-size statues of Saint George, in full panoply of gilded armour, complete with dragon, whilst on other columns stood Saint Cecilia, King David and others, all with gilded decorated canopies over them. From the capitals of two of the columns sprang a pointed arch leading to a second staircase through which could be seen lancet windows filled with stained glass depicting saintly subjects.

Music Room

From thence led a stone spiral staircase up to a tower suggestive of Saint Barbara, whose father Dioscorus, enraged at his daughter adopting the Christian faith, shut her up in a high tower - or perhaps the lady named Rapunzel, whose lover came to the tower at the top of which she was imprisoned and implored her to let down her hair so that he might climb up to her. "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down thy hair: after which we do not know what happened. Also upstairs was a large room designated 'The Picture Gallery', the walls of which were covered with water colours, mostly by Alfred Bell - an adjunct typical of Victorian houses.


Adjacent to the Music Room was the Dining Room designed on the lines of a mediaeval Banqueting Hall to which reference has been made in Chapter V. Upon entering and before arriving at the main room one had to proceed through the carved and decorated screen running transversely across, in true mediaeval style, with in place of a Minstrel's Galeery above, a niche containing a life-sized figure of Saint John the Divine looking over the screens as if blessing the feast. The room being for the then modern requirements had its chimneyiece of stone, set at the end as being a more convenient place than on the side-flank; it was in the place where the dais would have been had the room been true to type, though a bay window was set at the side as in a mediaeval hall. The chimney-piece was surrounded by linen-fold panels, above which was fixed a copy, by a member of the family, of Fra Fillippo Lippi's picture, 'Saint John the Baptist with six other Saints'. Two of the windows were filled with stained glass - this time the four Evangelists, Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. The walls were lined with decorated wood panelling into which were set a series of small panels depicting the life of Our Lord.
Dining Room, Bayford House

Every Saturday evening the board groaned with sumptuous and lavish fare such as might have graced the tables of the Tudors or Plantagenets. The feast ended, grace was sung in Latin, 'Non Nobis Domine'; after which all repaired to the Music Room to take part in, or listen to, the aforesaid music and acting.

At the top of the house was situated a Chapel, designated the Prayer Room, a small apartment with an apsidal end who's walls and ceiling were decorated after the manner of the thirteenth century, and pierced with lancet windows filled with stained glass. Here the family, including the servants, would assemble for prayers every morning, summoned by the master, whose beard was of the true square Victorian type, by means of a bell attached to a rope. On one occasion the Pomeranian and the pug came in and walked round, but this was an unusual occurrence. The inevitable Nannie was naturally much in evidence and it was the custom of this particular Nannie, after prayers, to dose the family with brimstone and treacle out of a basin, much to the discomfiture of those participating. Downstairs was a laundry which served as a useful adjunct to this very family affair."

  • "Closed Record" denotes people that were supposedly living as at the publication date of the 1939 Record. However information from a living grandchild records 3 people that have passed away and can therefore be named.[13] (If you know the identities of the other people or if the 1939 Record is updated, please update the above information.)

Ernest and Louise had 2 further children, both of whom are still living at time of writing.

Author Ernest Goodwin had purchased Bayford House in about 1932. By 1934 he had renamed it as Old Conduit House.[14]

Author and novelist Fay Weldon was a frequent visitor to the house, describing it as her second home[15]. She wrote about the house in her 2002 memoir Auto Da Fey[15], and also in her 1995 novel Splitting[16]. She met Ernest Goodwin's daughter Flora on her first day at South Hampstead School for Girls, and it turned out that Flora's mother Louise was a friend of her own grandmother. Louise was an unmarried mother of 9 children with Ernest Goodwin, and was living at the house, apparently, "next door to the house in which he kept his wife and legitimate brood."[15]

The 1939 Register shows the couple as "married". A conversation with a living grandchild of Ernest Goodwin confirms that they were in fact unmarried, but Louise changed her surname to Goodwin when setting up home with Ernest in about the mid 1920's. They certainly lived as though they were a married couple. It also seems that Fay Weldon's book was embellished somewhat. Ernest's first wife and children were not literally living next door, but elsewhere in the Hampstead area.[13] The register also shows a further 12 people living at Old Conduit House. (9 currently listed and 3 closed records. These were all Jewish refugees.

By 1944, Ernest Goodwin had passed away and the house became Louise's. In her capacity as a property manageress she had purchased many houses in Hampstead and converted them to flats, in order to house many more refugees. At the beginning only a minimal rent was charged, but it took some decades for the purchases to accumulate more substantial gains.[13]

During the 1960's according to another living grandchild, "the family lived in the basement and ground floor, and the upper floors were entirely inhabited by tenants who lived in single furnished rooms, and shared bathrooms and kitchens. That was not an unusual arrangement in London during and after the war."[13]

Old Conduit House was Grade II listed on 30 September 1983.[17]

Louise lived at the house until her death in 1995, and the family sold the place around the turn of the millenium. Substantial renovations took place to modernise it, however during these renovations in 2004 the building was burgled. Stained glass windows, a unique fireplace with a handwritten inscription, and other fitments were taken.[18] More recent estate agent's details describe stained glass windows in the house, but it is not clear if these were new or the stolen ones were recovered.

The house was featured in the 2014 movie Paddington as the home of Nicole Kidman's character Millicent Graves, from where she plots to kidnap Paddington.

Old Conduit House featured in an October 2022 London Evening Standard's Homes and Property section, with news that you can rent the property for a cool £20,583 p.c.m.[19]

The house was most recently let to anonymous American millionaires, who took a two year lease and paid a year's rent of £247K upfront to secure it.[20]
