The Vyne dates from the early 16th century when it was built by William Sandys, a gentleman who served Henry VIII for over 30 years, later being rewarded as Lord Sandys of The Vyne and becoming Lord Chamberlain.

In 1643 Chaloner Chute bought the house and made many tasteful alterations. During the 17th century a classical portico by John Webb was added to the house; the first of its kind in England.

Lord Sandys Tudor chapel remains largely unaltered, and is one of the finest private chapels in England, featuring some superb stained glass windows.

Inside The Vyne, a Palladian style staircase in plaster and carved wood is of a particularly high standard; introduced to the house in around 1765 by John Chute. Much of the original panelling remains in the house along with the fine furniture, family portraits, tapestries and procelain, assembled over 300 years.

There are attractive gardens, herbaceous borders, lakes and woodlands walks.

The ground floor and gardens are accessible to the disabled.
