Haynes Park

Haynes Park is a Georgian country mansion built with red and white brick, featuring a distinctive south front with thirteen bays arranged in a 3-7-3 pattern. The rectangular structure sits within grounds containing formal gardens, managed parkland, and wooded areas.

Construction began in 1725 for John Carteret, the 2nd Earl Granville, commissioned as his country residence. In 1929 the property became a girls' boarding school, operating under that purpose until 1975.

The mansion reflects Georgian architectural ideals through its symmetrical composition and use of traditional English materials. The red and white brick exterior embodies the aesthetic preferences of its era.

The grounds cover around 800 acres with different areas suited to various outdoor activities. Visitors will find both structured gardens and natural woodland to explore.

The mansion served as a girls' boarding school for decades, and traces of its educational past remain visible in how the building is arranged. Visitors can spot features that once served the school's functions.
