The Vyne, Tudor country house in Sherborne St John, England
The Vyne is a country house in Sherborne St John in the English county of Hampshire, originating from the Tudor period and later expanded. The property includes a chapel with stained glass windows, a classical portico on the north facade and gardens covering several hectares.
William Sandys began construction around 1500 as a residence for a royal official and later received Elizabeth I during her reign. The Chute family acquired the property in the mid-17th century and significantly altered rooms and facades over the following decades.
The name derives from a medieval vineyard that once surrounded the estate and has long since disappeared. Visitors walk through rooms where wood paneling, furniture and textiles from several centuries mix and show changing taste over time.
The estate suits an afternoon visit, as house, chapel and grounds can be explored separately. A café offers refreshments near the main entrance, and the tour is mostly accessible on a single level.
The staircase inside combines Baroque curves with stricter lines and shows the transition between two architectural styles. Today's stone gallery was originally an open loggia, only later enclosed with glass to create an interior room.
