The Vyne, Basingstoke

Described as a Tudor 'power house' because it was visited by Henry VIII on at least three occasions, the place disappointed when power has long since evaporated, leaving the interior bolstered by the copywriter's imaginative use of the English language.  Still, on a cold September day, the exterior was mildly attractive.
