The Vyne was built in the 16th century for Lord Sandys, Henry VIII’s Lord Chamberlain.
Henry VIII first visited in 1510 with his first wife Catherine of Aragon. The Tudor Gothic Capel houses magnificent Renaissance stained glass depicting Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon. It is also home to 16th century Flemish-Majolica tiles and a wealth of furniture, textiles and oak panelling dating back to c1521.
The Vyne is also home to one of the most richly decorated long galleries surviving from the first half of the 16th century and a stone gallery.
Henry visited on two more occasions, in 1531 and in 1535 accompanied by his second wife Queen Anne Boleyn. Sandys would later escort Anne to her imprisonment in the Tower.
