Great East Standen Manor is a manor house on the Isle of Wight in Hampshire. The house is a Grade II listed building.[1] It is of the early 18th century, with mid-19th century extensions to the rear.
The history of the manor dates to the Norman Conquest and it said that it was once the residence of Princess Cecily of York, the daughter of Edward IV, following her third marriage to Sir Thomas Kyme of Niton, whose estate was here.[1] Later is was owned by Henry Wriothersley, Earl of Southampton (Shakespeare's patron), who became Captain of the Isle of Wight in 1603.
The frontage of the house is 18th-century and includes five bays that are irregularly spaced. Grey headers and red brick dressings are featured, as are windows with slightly segmental tops and a large chimneystack, dated 1768.
