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 neoclassical 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.
This neoclassical, Palladian ceiling is part of the entrance hallway and staircase that were remodelled in the late 18th century by John Chute.
