Stanway House is a Jacobean manor house, located near Stanway, Gloucestershire, U.K. The manor was owned by Tewkesbury Abbey for 800 years then for 500 years by the Tracy family and their descendants, the Earls of Wemyss. The then Lord Neidpath, now the 13th Earl of Wemyss, pursued, over a number of years, a restoration program.
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.
