As a cultural monument in Category Grade I [first] Classified mansion is one of the most important [2] Houses of Hampshires and is primarily known for the portico, the staircase and the chapel.
The Vyne is about 2.5 kilometers north of the city of Basingstoke near the district of Sherborne St John. From there it is over the In wine Road Available towards Bramley.
The Vyne is a family house in 1362 as a family house Fyffhide Called in 1386 it came into the possession of the family Sandys that put on a deer park in the northeast of today’s park.
Today’s manor house was built between 1518 and 1527 in the tudor style [2] , the construction period is also specified around 1520. [3] The client was William Sandys, 1. Baron Sandys, who was raised to baron in 1523 and was Lord Chamberlain of the Household King Henry VIII from 1526. One of his descendants, the sixth Lord Sandys, sold the property to Chalon Chute in 1653. Chute became the House of Commons on January 27, 1659, but died on April 15, 1659. He is buried in the chapel. Chute had large parts of the Tudorbaus tear down and grow the portico on the northwest facade. One of his descendants, John Chaloner Chute († 1776), had the house partially redesigned in the 18th century, as did William Lyde Wigget-Chute (1827–1879) in the 19th century. The last Baron Chute of the Vyne, Sir Charles Lennard Chute (1879–1956), and Lady Chute bequeathed the property to the National Trust in 1956. [4] In 2019, The Vyne was visited by around 219,000 people. [5]
The two -storey building with two side wings and two three -storey corner towers is made of unplastered brick masonry with a blue diamond pattern, on the risalites with corner blocks. The building is laid in an e-shape, the chapel connects to the north wing. The model for the facility was probably Barrington Court in Somerset. It was originally even greater that are visible today, with the exception of the portico, the original walls from the Tudor period. The portico to the park side, it consists of two columns in the middle and pillars on the outside, all executed according to Corinthian order, an ingredient of the 17th century, around 1655. [3] The architect of portico was John Webb, a student Inigo Jones. Andrea Palladio’s Villa Barbaro was a model for the portico [6] . The portico was the first at a private house in England. It is bricked and plastered, the final architrav and the beam of the triangular gable are made of wood. The Palladian portico is contrasting in the tudor style.
The actual entrance to the building is located in the south wing on the west side. After the vestibule, the so -called Stone Gallery , It contains a medallion with the illustration of the Roman emperor ProBus, a work of Giovanni da Maianos, around 1521. Since Maiano made similar work for Hampton Court Palace. [7]
The other three rooms of the basement, including the Drawing Room In the north wing, rococo blankets from the 18th century. The stairwell is of particular interest, it is considered fully Georgian elegance [8] and almost sensational . [7] It is a construction around a pillar gallery under a casseted ceiling. The architect was the homeowner John Chaloner Chute himself, he was friends with Horace Walpole, 4. Earl of Orford. This, Walpole, called the stairwell – in the best sense – “theatrical”. [7] This effect was created by the light-dark style of the Chiaroscuro, in which spatial narrowing and light sources make a perspective impression. John Chute’s architecture became a model for parts of Walpole’s Strawberry Hill. The room, the whale poles in The Vyne used for his stay was called Strawberry Parlour .
The ground floor still contains the Print Room and the Dining Room .
On the upper floor, the over 20 m long long gallery runs across the entire west side, which, according to the architectural historian Mark Girouard, is the oldest of this kind in England. [9] It still contains the original retodus with over four hundred carved panels made of oak. It can be dated because of two characteristics between 1522 and 1528. The carvings contain the London bishop’s coat of arms Cuthbert Tunstall, he became this in 1522, so the paneling cannot be older. On the other hand, there is also an illustration of Cardinal Thomas Wolseys’ coat of arms, he fell in favor of Henry VIII in 1528, after which nobody would have dared to attach an emblem of him, so that 1528 finish before whom is. [ten]
In addition to the former private rooms, the upper floor contains the library and the Tapestry Room .
The house chapel on the north wing is one of the best -out private bands in England [11] . It is polygonally laid out, the windows contain glass paintings of flemish provenance from the Renaissance. The added neo -Gothic chapel contains the tomb of Chaloner Chutes, a work by Thomas Carter, carried out between 1775 and 1781. Chute is shown in the official costume of the speaker, the figure is considered one of the best of its kind in England of the 18th century.
The property still includes over 450 ha of real estate, which mostly consist of agricultural areas. The park and the gardens have been redesigned several times. The medieval game park was later used as agricultural, the formal gardens created in the 16th and 17th centuries were converted into a landscape park in the 18th century.
The main access to the manor house takes place today via the Southeast side. The stables are northeast of the manor house, some of which date from the 16th and 17th centuries and received their current shape in the 19th century.
Garden [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
The approximately 10 hectare garden extends west, north and northeast of the house. In front of the northwest facade, a lawn stretches to the elongated lake. An iron bridge over the lake built on the foundations of an older bridge in the 19th century was destroyed by a storm in 1986 and has not yet been restored. A shrub beds laid down in 1960 were located west of the house. Charles Chute Wild garden created according to the principles of the natural planting of William Robinson. Northwest of the house extends a flower garden enclosed by Eibenhecken, which in 1997–98 again received its shape with cut yew hedges, boxwood versions and perennial beds from around 1910. In the 17th century, two summer houses built from bricks were built here, one of which is preserved. The two -story, coupled building on a cross -shaped floor plan was designed by John Webb and was originally decorated with stucco and paintings. It served as a garden house, but was later used as a pigeon. In addition to the summer house, the probably over 600 -year -old Hundred Guinea Oak , for whose wood a wooden dealer William John Chute 100 Guinenen is said to have offered. From the summer house, a linden avenue planted around 1880 leads to the kitchen garden with fruit trees and a elaborately restored historic glass house mentioned in the 18th century.
Park [ Edit | Edit the source text ]
The wildlife park, named in the 14th century, was converted into arable land in the 17th century, and a park was preserved only west of the house. Today’s 35 hectare landscape park was created in the 18th century and extends south and northwest of the house. Many old trees were uprooted by storms in 1987 and 1991, but the park still contains some exotic trees.
West of the house, the park goes into the 55 hectare Morgaston Wood over, through which several paths lead [twelfth] .
