## Arreton Manor
Arreton Manor, a Jacobean manor house in Arreton, Isle of Wight, traces its origins to 872 AD when King Alfred the Great bequeathed it to his son, Aethelweard. By 1086, it was recorded in the Domesday Book as part of William the Conqueror's holdings. In the 12th century, the manor became part of Quarr Abbey, where it remained under monastic stewardship for over 400 years. Following the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1525, the estate was leased to the Leigh family. Between 1595 and 1612, the manor was rebuilt in Jacobean style, adopting an "H" shape. Notably, Charles I reviewed troops on the lawn in 1629, and Queen Victoria planted a tree in the garden during her visit. In the 20th century, the manor transitioned from a private residence to a bed and breakfast and events venue, offering a glimpse into its rich history. (arretonmanor.net)
