Administrative / biographical background:

The Hayne family's estates in Berkshire centred on Kintbury and Wanborough and on Aldbourne across the border in Wiltshire. Through their many family connections they also acquired property in London and Hertfordshire. The two sons of Lovelace Hayne, Charles and James, both practised as solicitors in or near Newbury, and seem to have played a large part in administering the family estates (Charles was particularly responsible for the development of the Bath estates).

 

The Haynes owned property in Bath from an early date.

 

They held the Barton Farm estate in Walcott (now part of Bath city) including Kingsmead and part of the Lansdown, both undeveloped until the mid-eighteenth century. In 1737 Lucy Hayne married John Bragge of Sadbarrow, Dorset, and the Hayne estates were later added to the Bragge's Devon and Dorset property.
