Hi Mary T. I believe that this is the most likely suggestion made so far. It is in the right part of Essex too, a couple of miles west of Braintree and not too far from Suffolk.

Rayne Hall which is, again, near Braintree in the Finchingfield area but which is on the old Roman road, Stane Street, between Colchester and Waltham Cross There is a family of Josecelyne & vars. which have a webpage that I found about Rayne/Raine Hall http://www.peterjoslin.btinternet.co.uk/rayne.htm HOw correct the content of this site is I cannot say but it might be of intetest. There is also this other webpage on Raynehall http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayne And this site of Rayne village http://www.raynevillage.info/index.shtml Where there appears to be written a complete history of the place.
