Wode Manor

Last updated May 05, 2019

Wode Manor (also La Wode, 13th-14th centuries; Wode, 15th-16th centuries) was a manor house in the parish of Brading on the Isle of Wight.

The ancient 'Kynges Towne' of Brading is the main town of the civil parish of the same name. The ecclesiastical parish of Brading used to cover about a tenth of the Isle of Wight. The civil parish now includes the town itself and Adgestone, Morton, Nunwell and other outlying areas between Ryde, St Helens, Bembridge, Sandown and Arreton. Alverstone was transferred to the Newchurch parish some thirty years ago.

Isle of Wight County and island of England

The Isle of Wight is a county and the largest and second-most populous island in England. It is in the English Channel, between 2 and 5 miles off the coast of Hampshire, separated by the Solent. The island has resorts that have been holiday destinations since Victorian times, and is known for its mild climate, coastal scenery, and verdant landscape of fields, downland and chines.

History

Wode, probably the northern wooded portion of the peninsula, seems to have been a member of the manor of East Standen, and passed with it until the death of Nicholas Glamorgan about 1362–3. ^[1] It then seems to have been divided, part going with Standen to the Bramshotts and Howles, and the rest with Wolverton to the Hakets and Gilberts. The former moiety is not mentioned after 1480; the latter apparently followed the same descent as Wolverton. The name is now lost, and the manor is apparently merged in Bembridge Farm.^[1]
