Brief description

"Fountain plays twice each afternoon subject to drought or adverse weather"

"Stanway 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 who still live there.

The house, its fascinating furniture, the jewel-like Gatehouse, the church and 14th-century Tithe Barn, the 18th-century water-garden, the specimen trees and avenues, the surrounding villages, farms, parkland and woodland all subtly combine to create an enclave of very English and almost magical harmony.

Recently it has seen the gradual restoration of the 18th-century water garden, probably designed by the greatest of British landscape gardeners, Charles Bridgeman.

The formal Canal, on a terrace above the house, the striking Pyramid and eight ponds have been reinstated, and a single-jet fountain, at 300 feet 10 1/4 inches the highest fountain in Britain and the highest gravity fountain in the world, has been added.

The fountain plays at 2.45pm and 4.00pm for half an hour each play"
