Baylis House was built by Dr Gregory Hascard, Dean of Windsor in 1696,
later bought by Dr Henry Godolphin, Provost of Eton. The house remained
in the Osborne family until it passed by marriage to the Dukes of
Leeds. It was leased by various tenants until it became a Roman
Catholic School in 1830, run by the Butt family.
It became a hotel in 1923, when the swimming pool was constructed.
Slough Borough Council bought Baylis House in 1939
During the Second World War it was used for various official services
and then as a meeting place for local clubs and organisations..
In 1954 the property was leased to Urwick Management Centre.
In 1996 it was leased to Towry Law.
Today Baylis House Ltd. offers Banqueting and Conference Centre
facilities with Offices and Residential accommodation, in Godolphin
Court.
