Rylstone Manor Hotel

Rylstone Manor (or Rylstone Chalet) is a manor house and was a museum in Shanklin, on the Isle of Wight, England. [1] The building was originally constructed as a gentleman's residence in 1863 and remained privately owned until 1923. Of Victorian style, it includes Gothic, Tudor and Georgian influences. [2]

Rylstone Manor is now a hotel. The building is constructed of stone and features include a jettied half-timbered projection. It is located within Rylstone Gardens, a public park.

The Great Masonic Exhibition of 1886 was held on the grounds and at the chalet of Rylstone. [3]

The museum at the Rylstone Chalet was officially opened by Sir Edward Bagnall Poulton on 17 April 1935. The collection included Isle of Wight birds, butterflies, mouths, and eggs. [4]
