Stanway House, a magnificent Jacobean manor, is home to the tallest gravity-fed fountain in the world. Rising to 300 feet, the fountain is powered entirely by a natural water supply from the hills above — no pumps needed. The house has been in the same family, the Earls of Wemyss, since 1533. Its gatehouse is considered one of the finest in England, and the tithe barn dates from the 14th century. The cricket ground in the grounds is one of the most scenic in the country.
