Building in Stanway, England. Stanway House is a Jacobean manor house, located near the village of Stanway in Gloucestershire, England. The manor of Stanway was owned by Tewkesbury Abbey for 800 years then for 500 years by the Tracy family and their descendants, the Earls of Wemyss and March.

Stanway House, originally constructed in the late 16th and early 17th century for the Tracy family, is a Grade I listed building. The principal rooms are in a long south-facing range forming an L-shape with the hall, unlike the usual Tudor house plan of a central hall. The north-east wing, remodelled in 1913 by Detmar Blow, was demolished in 1948. The kitchen court was designed by William Burn in 1859. The Gatehouse was built in about 1630. The construction includes Guiting Yellow stone and some Jacobean mullions and gables.

The then Lord Neidpath, now the 13th Earl of Wemyss and March, has pursued a program of restoration for a number of years. The house and grounds are open to the public on a limited basis each summer.^[3]

Wormington Grange is a Grade II* listed country house in the civil parish of Stanton, Gloucestershire, England. It lies a mile south of the village of Wormington.

Although the lodge appears to be of Tudor origins it is actually from the Regency period and concurrent with the Regency phase of the estate, the main house was constructed in the 1770s for Nathaniel Jeffreys. It is built of stone with a slate roof. An enlargement occurred in 1826-27 for Josiah Gist by Henry Hakewill. In the 1920s, Sir G. Dawber provided minor alterations for Mrs. Clegg. A. S. G. Butler made other changes in the mid 20th century. The full-height bow windows are attributed to Anthony Keck who was the original architect of outstanding Doric columns reminiscent of the classical Greek Temple on the Ilissus. The later additions by Hakewill included notable pilasters, particularly in a dining-room, built in the new east wing, adjacent to a grand entrance hall with ionic columns.

The house was later lived in by General Hastings Ismay, 1st Baron Ismay, KG GCB CH DSO PC DL, who remodelled the north side servants' quarters to Butler's design in 1947. Hakewill's stables nearby were neo-classical after Sir Hans Sloane's inspirational style. The Cleggs completely re-designed the gardens to which wrought iron front gates, designed by Norman Jewson appeared in about 1930. The limestone and Sussex bond brickwork stable block, which has a slate roof, was added 1827. The central store room is of two storeys with single story wings containing the horse boxes. A workshop in the stable block is used by John Evetts, the Landmark Trust furnishing manager. He is the grandson of Hastings Ismay, and moved into the house in the 1970s.^[6]
