Aynhoe Park

It is the site of their retail and hospitality experience "RH England, The Gallery at Aynho Park", and also the location of an active and renowned white deer farm producing high-end venison.

[3] The estate was purchased in the 17th century by John Cartwright, but the house he built in 1615 was seriously damaged during the Civil War by Royalist forces following the Battle of Naseby.

It was rebuilt after the Civil War to the design of Edward Marshall, master mason in Charles II's Office of Works.

Archer, who had visited Italy, added unusual late-Baroque detailing, such as the concave surrounds to the central doorways of the service blocks.

[4] Aynhoe Park was acquired by the Country Houses Association in the 1950s, an organisation focused on finding alternative uses for former stately homes too large to be used as a single dwelling.

The service wings were initially converted to office use (use class B1), and the retirement apartments in the main block were converted into a venue for high-end catered weddings, parties, displays and conferences, with 41 en suite bedrooms providing overnight accommodation for guests at the venue.

[6] The venue also offered spa facilities including a pool, a catering kitchen, and licensed bars on the ground floor and in the cellar of the main block.

[8] The service wings were converted into seven self-contained apartments (use class C3) under a planning permission granted in 2013,[9] and three further brand new dwellings were being constructed on the grounds of the estate by 2020.
