“Located in the heart of the Cotswolds, Stanway โ€‹is an outstandingly beautiful example of a Jacobean manor house famous for its 300 feet single-jet fountain, the highest in Britain and the highest gravity fountain in the world.” The family pile of the Earls of Wemyss, Stanway House in the Cotswolds hosts ‘fun rides’ (fundraisers) for and is a regular meet of the North Cotswold Hunt (laughable motto ‘Conserving the Cotswolds‘) as recorded on numerous occasions by eg Three Counties Hunt Sabs. The March 2025 ‘closing meet’ of the hunt is recorded in detail in a HIT Report. Somewhat ironically the House’s website says “Dogs are welcome at Stanway. Please keep them on leads”, a request that clearly doesn’t apply to the badger-sett-blocking, fox-chasing conservationists of the North Cotswold.
