NITON AND WHITWELL
KINGATES LANE
Strathwell Manor, North and South
II
Large house, now sub-divided. Built early to mid C19 by the
Rev. Olivier Robert rector of Whitwell but on the site and
possibly incorporating elements of a mid C16 house. Built of
coursed Isle of Wight stone rubble with tiled roof, some
clustered white brick stacks and some terracotta. A rambling
plan, roughly L-shaped, with irregular fenestration. 2
storeys. North part has 2 gables with kneelers, 4 casements
and 2 storey off-central weatherporch with obtusely pointed
doorway underneath with blank shields. South part has end
gable with kneelers and saddlestone. 1st floor has 2 light
lancet with stone hood-moulding and ground floor has 5 light
bay with lancets. Right hand side has an external stone
chimneystack, a projecting dormer with pediment and lancet
window and double lancet under hood-moulding below. To the
right of this is a projecting 2 storeyed gable with kneelers,
1st floor 2 light lancet and ground floor triple lancet under
hoodmoulding. On the gable end is a stone bellcote and a
single lancet with hoodmoulding below. Left hand side has 2:1
sashes with horns and modern door in lean to extension.
Interior has in a lounge a very fine oak overmantel dated 1545
with 4 profile portrait heads, fielded panels, vine leaf
tendrils and carvings of grotesque boars heads in a Flemish or
North German style. There are said to be portraits of the 1st
owner of the house, his wife, son and daughter in law. The 1st
owner was Prince Michael Paleologo Kolnett, great nephew of
the last Emperor of the East Contantine XI Palacologos. He was
born in Pesaro in 1506, married Johana Dauntsey at Southampton
in 1524 and died at Combley Manor Arreton (demolished) in
October 1551. A will dated 1576 by Princess Johana Paleologo
Kolnet bequeaths her son "my mansion house of Strettle which
was built and bequeathed to me by my dear lord and husband".
The original house remained in the same family until the last
of his line Prince James died in 1822. Apart from the
overmantel no other features of the C16 house are visible.
