front (south) facade of The Vyne
The Vyne is a 16th-century country house outside Sherborne St John, Basingstoke, Hampshire, England. The core of the building is Tudor but it has been modified over the following years, notably with a classical staircase and a Palladian portico on the rear facade.
It was built for Lord Sandys, King Henry VIII's Lord Chamberlain, and later passed to the Chute family.
The external brickwork is decorated with "diaper work": diamond patterns created by different coloured bricks.
