The Vyne Tudor 'powerhouse'
The house was built in the 16th-century for Lord Sandys, Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain. It then became home to the Chute family for more than 300 years.
During that time it has been at the cutting edge of development of country house architecture, interior design and taste.
The Tudor house
Originally built as a great Tudor 'power house', The Vyne was visited by King Henry VIII on three occasions, becoming a family home, cherished by the Chute family for 350 years.
The Oak Gallery
Come and see our oak panelling dating back to about the early 16th-century
and installed by William Sandys when he received his Order of the Garter.
The summer house
The summer house was probably built in the mid 17th-century. Standing behind this is the 600 year-old 'Hundred Guinea' Oak.
