Byfleet Manor House. The current house was built in 1886 but a manor has been on the site since the 13th century. Once a residence of Queen Anne of Denmark, wife of James I, and a favourite haunt of the poet Geoffrey Chaucer, Byfleet Manor is now a private residence often used for location filming. It featured in ITV's Downtown Abbey as the home of Violet Crawley, Dowager Countess of Grantham, played by Dame Maggie Smith. In February 2013 the Surrey Advertiser reported how a telecoms engineer had lifted the floorboards and come across a previously undocumented seven-foot square hidden room beneath him. It had no doors and a bricked up window. The room's purpose remains unknown.

Byfleet: Church of St Mary the Virgin Dating back to the 13th century but much rebuilt, particularly in Victorian times, the church is built of flint and puddingstone rubble and has a wood shingled belfry under its broach spire.

Courteous Staff, very clean room. Snacks in the bar were great especially the king prawns in garlic.
