Aynhoe Park Virtual Tour

VIEW 360 VIRTUAL TOUR

Archive note: This is an archive Aynhoe Park virtual tour of the Grade I country house on the Northamptonshire / Oxfordshire border. The estate has since been transformed into ‘RH England, The Gallery at Aynho Park’. These 360s document the building as it appeared when used as a private home and events venue.

Aynhoe Park overlooks the Cherwell Valley in Oxfordshire. It’s a Palladian country house with a bit of a difference.

The history of Aynhoe Park

Aynhoe Park (also known as Aynho Park) was rebuilt after the Civil War and spans several architectural periods. The house layers Jacobean and Carolean fabric with early-18th-century additions by Thomas Archer. The hand of Sir John Soane is easily detected in the rooms he remodelled in the 19th Century. The wider grounds include an early formal garden and Capability Brown parkland.

The Perkins Era: A modern Grand Tour

For 15 years Aynhoe Park was home to James Perkins, who furnished the interiors of his house with an amazing collection of treasures from around the world. The family’s eclectic collection featured some remarkable taxidermy pieces, from polar bears to a black swan.

Shooting this house offered a great opportunity to create 360 tours which really sing from every angle. The opulent decor and abundance of detail mean that there’s something for the audience to explore in every part of every scene, from floor to ceiling. From Soane’s top-lit stair to Archer s baroque flourishes.

Although the house was not open to the public, it was used as a venue for weddings and events. Sales of the collections that the Perkins family amassed often took place, with stunning and highly unusual taxidermy pieces being sold to collectors worldwide.
