Mottistone Manor, Brighstone, Isle of Wight

The earliest part of this manor was built in the late 15th or early 16th century. It was then remodelled by Thomas Cheke in 1567. This was one of the original Domesday Manors. In 1706 a landslide buried the rear wall of the south east wing almost up to roof level. For 150 yeas it became a farmhouse owned by the Leighs of North Court, Shorwell. In 1861 Charles Seely of Brook House bought the estate and in the 1920s his grandson John Seely, an architect, restored the building.
