in Somerset. Newhouse, east of Redlynch on the road towards Whiteparish, was built c. 1619. The house and estate were bought in 1633 by Giles Eyre (father of Sir Giles Eyre, member of Parliament and judge) and continue to be held by his descendants. The house is constructed from English bonded brick with limestone dressings and has a distinctive Y-shaped plan; it was designated as Grade I listed in 1960. There is an early 18th-century granary and two stable blocks, from 1750 and the late 19th. In 2021, the Newhouse Estate was offered for sale with an asking price of £18 million. Governance The civil parish elects a parish council. It is in the area of Wiltshire Council unitary authority, which performs most significant local government functions. Redlynch was formerly part of Downton parish. It became a separate civil parish in 1896, which in 1901 had 310 houses. The parish was enlarged in 1934 to include the former parish of Morgan's Vale and Woodfalls (which had been separated from Downton in 1923, and had a population of 630 in 1931), and Nomansland. A community governance review effective 1 April 2017 transferred the eastern portion of Redlynch parish to Landford; the area transferred included the settlements of Nomansland and Hamptworth. The parish is part of Redlynch and Landford electoral ward which stretches east from Redlynch to Landford. The population of the ward taken at the 2011 census was 4,719. Amenities Morgan's Vale and Woodfalls CE Primary School serves Morgan's Vale, Woodfalls, Lover and Redlynch; it was built as a National School in 1869, next to St Birinus' church. Redlynch Village Hall is near the church at Lover. Built in 1922 as the church hall, it was modernised in the early 21st century. The parish has two pubs: the Kings Head at Redlynch and the Woodfalls Inn at Woodfalls.
