Bay Horse is a sparsely populated hamlet in the English county of Lancashire. It lies between Lancaster and Preston to the north and south respectively.
Newland Hall is a country house and the former seat of the Owtrams, a local mill-owning family.[2] Colonel Cary Owtram OBE (1900–1993) gained prominence after the publication of a secret diary that he kept during his three-and-a-half-year stint as a prisoner of war in Thailand during World War II.[3]
