Horringford Manor is a manor house on the Isle of Wight, situated in the parish of Arreton.
The house is a Grade II listed building.[1]
The house, standing on the high ground above the station, is an unpretentious building of the 17th century, with stone mullioned windows on the south front. It was evidently remodelled at the advent of the Cromwells, as the date stone, a later insertion, is inscribed 1718, i.e. William and Martha Cromwell.
The mill of Horringford seems to have been a separate holding, as in the tithe book of 1842 it is entered as part of Fulford. It may have been the 'water mill in Arreton' held by Richard Baskett at his death, February 1626. John Baskett settled a tenement and water mill called Horringford upon himself and his heirs in 1640. It became attached to the holding of Horringford only on its purchase by Mr. Charles Allen in 1907.
