Byne House is a Grade II* listed house at 40 Church Street, Warminster, Wiltshire, England.[1] It was built in 1755 for the clothier John Wansey, and is an example of the wealth that accrued to the area from the wool industry.[2] It was later the home of the headmaster of Warminster School. The house was badly damaged by fire in 2007.[3][4] The 19th-century railings outside the house are Grade II listed.[5]
