ARRETON

SZ58NW ARRETON STREET 1353-0/2/13 Arreton Manor 21/07/51 (Formerly Listed as: SOUTH ARRETON Arreton Manor) II*

Large manor house. Built between 1595 and 1612 by Sir Humphrey Barnet with central porch added in 1634 and 1812 addition on left hand side, restored and extended to rear in C20. Built of Isle of Wight stone rubble with ashlar quoins. Tiled roof with 3 clustered diagonally placed chimneystacks. Elizabethan H shape plan appearing E-shaped now with early C17 porch. 2 storeys and attics in centre, 3 storeys to wings. 5 windows. End gables and porch have stone moulded coping and kneelers. Moulded stone band between floors. Plinth. Mullioned windows with hollow chamfered moulding and drip moulding above. End ground floor windows appear to be 1812 replacements. 2 storeyed central porch dated 1639 has 2 centred arched doorway on the outside and 2 centred door on the inside with blank spandrels. Porch has chamfered beams with lambs tongue stops. C17 studded door. Flight of 6 stone steps, flanked by C19 stone seated mastiffs. To west is an 1812 1 bay addition. 2 storeys coursed stone rubble with brick dressings, tiled roof with 1 brick chimneystack and 1 mullioned window. To north of this is an C18 gabled wing, the floor of stone rubble, the attic of red brick in Flemish bond and tiled roof. The rear elevation has a large external stone chimneystack. The area between the gabled projections at the rear has been infilled with a C20 stone flat-roofed extension. Hall has Jacobean plank and muntin panelling with reeded pilasters on the north side. (This was originally in the West bedroom and was sold but later returned to the house. The overmantel from this room is said to be in the entrance hall of the Priory at Seaview.) To the east is a very elaborate late Medieval screen of oak and elm but probably introduced in the C20. The Dining Parlour was formerly the Court house for the Manorial court. It has panelling of c.1630, including a finely carved overmantel with coat of arms of Sir Thomas Barnet owner of the manor at the time, flanked by strapwork panels with carving of lady fishing, and Jupiter with a thunderbolt, probably North German or Flemish separate carvings. Ionic pilasters to sides with lion's mask, floral drops and claws. Stone 4 centred arched fireplace. Plank and muntin panelling with Ionic pilasters with grapevine motif surmounted by grotesques and cornice with tendrils. On the brackets are carvings of Justice and Mercy. Iron fireback of c.1605 with Coat of Arms of James I. Chamfered bressumer with heart motif, similar to carvings at Yarmouth Castle and in some smaller manor houses and farmhouses of the period. Staircase has been much renewed but top retains turned newel post and turned balusters and an internal framed wall has square framing and a display panel of wattle and daub. The Long Room has a C17 stone fireplace and 8 panelled door. The West Bedroom has a closet door with carved panel and butterfly hinges. The panelling in the hall was formerly in this room. Roof of through purlin construction. Ground floor of east wing has a 2 centred arched doorway and 2 rooms with early C17 square framed partitions, chamfered spine beams with heart stops and 4 centred arched stone fireplaces. 2 centred arched doorcase and plank door. Kitchen in west wing has chamfered spine beam with heart stops. Stone fireplace with breadoven and some C17 plank and muntin panelling. Built on the site of a monastic grange belonging to Quar Abbey. (Buildings of England: Hampshire and the Isle of Wight: 731; The Manor Houses of the Isle of Wight: C W R Winter: V.C.H. Vol. V. p.140: 29-33).
