Apse Manor is an Elizabethan manor house at the eastern edge of Newchurch on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire's great south island. The house is pleasantly situated just to the north of the high road from Shanklin.
The house was a country seat for a series of families. Today it is the Apse Manor Country House Hotel. It is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The manor was granted by Roger del Estre at the solicitation of Richard de Redvers (1100–7) to the canons of Christchurch Twyneham, with whom it remained until the Dissolution of the Monasteries under King Henry VIII. It then passed to the Crown and was leased from time to time.
The current house was built in the late 16th or early 17th centuries. It has gundergone considerable alteration since.
Towards the end of the 18th century the manor was acquired by Sir Richard Worsley and it passed from him with Appuldurcombe to Lord Yarborough, who sold it in 1854 to George Young, who sold it on again, and it passed to a series of owners before the current ownership.
