Brading town in Isle of Wight, UK

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.

A small holding held, with the adjoining Beaper, by the late Miss le Marchant, lies to the east of Hardingshute Manor, and was in the 14th century held by Reginald le Corner. [1] It probably formed part of the manor of Nunwell at one time. In 1333 Walter le Burgeys de la Brigge granted a rent in Hill to John de Kingston, but this may refer to another holding. In 1604 Robert Dillington died seised of the 'manor of Hill.' [1]

Holloway Manor was a manor house on the Isle of Wight, situated within the Newchurch parish. It lies just to the north of Ventnor. It was held of the honour of Carisbrooke Castle and formed part of the estate of John de Lisle in the Island at the end of the 13th century. It followed the descent of South Shorwell until 1641, when it is mentioned for the last time. It is probably the same as the modern Ventnor Manor, which is mentioned for the first time in 1755 and then belonged to the Pophams of South Shorwell. Nearly all the land in Ventnor was sold in 1820 by the Hill family to John Hamborough and building speculators, and the manor no longer exists. Holloway can now only be identified by the Holy Well spring on the down, from which possibly the holding derived its name. In a dispute as to boundaries in 1617, witnesses deposed that Ventnor, Littletown and Holloway were tithings of themselves and that Sir Edward Dennis' ancestors kept court and law day at Holloway, where his tenants did suit royal.

Winston Manor is a manor house on the Isle of Wight, situated in the Newchurch parish. Judging from the Domesday Book entries, it was an important manor held in part by the king and in part by William and Gozelin,sons of Azor. The king's portion formed two manors with a virgate of land in Soflet and was valued at £3, while the Azor land was held by six tenants and was worth 70s., which makes up a considerable holding if the entries refer to the same place. It seems to have early been among the endowments of Christchurch Twyneham, being confirmed to the convent by William de Redvers, Earl of Devon. In 1241 Richard Quor gave up to the prior all his right in the manor, and the priory still held it at the end of the century as a thirteenth part of a fee. Its further history is not known, but it came in the 19th century into the hands of Mr. Alfred Smith, and as of 1912 it was owned by his daughter's trustees.

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. Carter was lord of Wackland in 1878, and as of 1912 it belonged to the trustees of the late Mr. Thomas F. Perrott.
