Fairlawne was rebuilt for Sir Henry Vane between 1630 and 1655. Additions were made in 1680, and completed for Lord Vane 1723, in part by James Gibbs. Victorian additions and interior decoration by William Burn were mostly removed in 1954. Fairlawne is Grade I Listed. The Fairlawne Estate is a 1,000 acre estate which stretches from Shipbourne into neighbouring Plaxtol. It is currently owned by the Saudi Arabian horse-breeder, Prince Khalid Abdullah.
