The Mynde, Country house in Much Dewchurch, England.
The Mynde is a country house with nine bays across its main front, built from sandstone rubble and rising three storeys high. The structure is topped with a slate roof that completes its substantial appearance.
The Pye family held the estate for centuries, starting from Norman times and continuing through the medieval period. Walter Pye I and Walter Pye II were notable keepers of this substantial holding.
The Kings Hall features elaborate plasterwork created by skilled craftsmen during the tenure of the Duke of Chandos. These rooms showcase the wealth and taste of its former inhabitants.
The house sits on an estate of around 1,180 acres (480 hectares) accessible via a mile-long (1.6 km) private drive. It can be reached from both the A465 and B4348 roads.
The building underwent major restoration work between 1997 and 2001 under Audley Twiston-Davies. This work preserved its architectural character through contemporary conservation methods.
