Hayne

Hayne is a Grade II* listed manor house in Stowford with roots reaching back to the late 1500s and considerable architectural importance. The building contains formal rooms, a grand staircase hall, a substantial ballroom, and multiple bedrooms, supported by outbuildings and residential cottages spread across the wider property.

The original building dates to the late 1500s and underwent major transformations around 1810 under Isaac Donnithorne, who joined the Harris family through marriage. These renovations shaped much of what you see in the house today.

The house displays Gothic revival features from the early 1800s, blending Tudor elements into its Victorian design. This architectural mixture shapes how the building looks and feels when you walk around it today.

Access to the manor and its rooms depends on current visitor arrangements, so it is worth checking before you go. The grounds include several areas to explore, including a Victorian stable courtyard and other buildings spread across the estate.

The River Thrushel flows through the estate grounds, creating natural water features within the property boundaries. This natural element adds character to the landscape and provides features that many visitors overlook.
