Grove Manor is a manor house in the parish of Brading on the Isle of Wight in England.

History

Grove doubtless originally formed part of the Adgestone Manor holding, from which it became separated in the 16th century, and may be identical with the land in Adgestone held of the manor of Alverstone by Thomas Fitchett in 1510. ^[1] The first owners seem to have been the Fitchetts, an early Isle of Wight family, whom Sir John Oglander speaks of as having been seated there for many generations, and who certainly held Grove in the 16th and 17th centuries. John Fitchett of Grove died in 1738 and his widow Elizabeth in 1742. n the 19th century Grove was held by the Jacobs family, who in 1846 sold it to Mr. Thomas Hillier, whose daughter had married a Jacobs, and to whom it passed on the death of her father. As of 1912 it was owned by the trustees of Muggeridge.^[1] The old house, an 18th-century structure, was pulled down in 1890, and the present new one built.^[1]

Wackland Manor, is a manor house on the Isle of Wight, situated in the Newchurch parish. It was held in the 13th century under the Lisles of Wootton, but in 1311–12 was said to be held of Ralph de Gorges of Knighton Gorges Manor. At the end of the 13th century it was held by John de la Brigge, from whom it passed with Bridge Court (q.v.) to the Kingstons. It followed the descent of Kingston until 1424, when Robert Dingley and Lewis Meux conveyed it to John Taillour, who was returned in 1431 as holding Wackland. Its descent has not been traced from that time until the end of the 18th century. Some time before 1786 it must have been in the possession of Thomas Davis, as he left a charge of 20s. upon it for charities. In the early part of the 19th century Wackland was the residence of a hunting farmer, well known as 'Squire' Thatcher, who kept and hunted a pack of harriers. Mr. E.
