Mottistone Manor

Mottistone Manor is a National Trust property in the village of Mottistone on the Isle of Wight, England. It has popular gardens and is a listed building. It was first mentioned in documents related to the Domesday Book of 1086.^[1]

The oldest parts of the manor, the south-east wing, date from the fifteenth or early sixteenth century. The north-west wing was added or remodelled by Thomas Cheke in 1567, and additions to the south-east wing were made in the early seventeenth century. The whole house was remodelled in the 1920s by the architects Seely & Paget, John Seely (later 2nd Baron Mottistone; 1899–1963) of the firm being a great-grandson of industrialist and politician Charles Seely, who had bought the house and estate in 1861.^[2]

Though not open to the public, the manor has hosted gatherings for the Seely family. The great-great granddaughter of General J. E. B. Seely, 1st Baron Mottistone, the theatre and opera director Sophie Hunter, held her wedding reception here with Benedict Cumberbatch on 14 February 2015.^[3][4]
