Ryde Manor

Last updated May 11, 2021

Ryde Manor (also La Rye, le Rythe, Ride) is a manor house in Ryde on the Isle of Wight, situated within the Newchurch parish. It was historically linked with Ashey Manor.

History

Ryde was parcel of Ashey Manor, and seems to have formed the portion of John the youngest son of Giles Worsley. Ryde Manor was awarded to Sir Robert Worsley in 1563, and in 1565 he sold to Anthony Dillington an estate which at the time of the death of Anthony's son Sir Robert Dillington in 1604 is called 'the manors of Ashley and Ryde.' ^[1] Sir Robert was succeeded by his nephew Robert, and with the Dillington family the manor remained till Sir John Dillington in 1705 sold it to Henry Player of Alverstoke.^[1] The Player family seem to have held courts unchallenged by the Edgcumbes. Considerable friction arose between the Bettesworths and the Players as to shore rights, which in 1811 were adjudged to belong to Mrs. Bettesworth. By the middle of the century the Players, who seem from the first to have attempted encroachments on the manorial rights of Ashey, had acquired that manor, which since 1588 had always been called in Court Rolls the manor of Ashey and Ryde. Thus the ancient manor was again united under one owner. The lord of the manor of Ashey and Ryde, William Player Brigstocke, lived at Ryde House as of 1912.^[1]

Smallbrook Manor is a manor house on the Isle of Wight, lying at the north-eastern boundary of Newchurch parish. It doubtless took its name from the stream that here forms the boundary of the parish. It is of ancient origin, as in 1280 William de Smallbrook (Smalebrook) granted land to his son Hugh. It was held at the end of the 14th century by the Wyvill family, and remained in their possession until 1491–2, when Stephen Wyvill, the last of the family, sold it to Henry Howles. Smallbrook passed in the Howles family until the reign of Elizabeth, when it was divided between co-heirs and sold to Sir William Oglander. In the court held at Ashey Manor, 1 November 1624, Sir John Oglander was returned as a freeholder and free suitor of the manor for his farm called 'Smallbroke.' The estate has since descended with Nunwell and as of 1912 was held by Mr J. H. Oglander, who had the Court Rolls in his possession.
