TR25 SE3 TR260524 Building remains, ‘The Ruins’, Beauchamps.There is a fragment of collapsed flint rubble walling and part of the footings of a building measuring some 20 metres by 8 metres. No details of any sort survive and the whole is in an overgrown and totally ruinous condition. Stebbing avers that the present condition is due to the stone having been re-used in the more recent buildings at St. Alban’s Court nearby, a practise which probably led to its misidentification with Eswelle manor, the manor house of which is known to be incorporated into St. Alban’s Court. ‘Beauchamp’ names in the vicinity point to an identification with the Beacham or Bedesham estate described at the time of Thomas Hammonds purchase in 1558 as ‘Beacham situated in Nonington with all barnes, houses and edifices. A plan of 1750 shows a building at the site. There is no evidence to support the tradition quoted by Harris and Hasted of a nunnery at Beacham; Knowles and Hadcock do not list it.
