Swainston Manor, Grade II* listed English country house in Calbourne, Isle of Wight, England.
The property extends across 32 acres and contains a stone manor house with Gothic revival elements, including arched windows and iron balustrades.
The manor's origins date to 735 CE, with sections built by the Bishops of Winchester in the 13th century and additions by the Barrington family in 1750.
The property includes a 12th-century chapel and a Great Hall featuring pointed arched doorcases and lancet windows from medieval architectural traditions.
