Stanway House & Fountain

Located in Stanway, Gloucestershire, Stanway House is an outstandingly beautiful example of a Jacobean manor house, owned by Tewkesbury Abbey for 800 years then for 500 years by the Tracy family and their descendants, the Earls of Wemyss. Stanway House is currently the home of Lord and Lady Neidpath.

Stanway House is noted for its mellow, peaceful atmosphere, created by its age, its stone (a delicious Cotswold stone known as Guiting Yellow), its architecture, its furniture and by its setting. The charming interior of the house gives every appearance of being lived in, and in no sense resembles a museum.

The Stanway Watergarden, one of the finest in England, was created in the 1720s; the glory of the garden is the single-jet fountain in the Canal, which rises magnificently to over 300 feet, making it the tallest fountain in Britain.
