Knighton Gorges Manor, Manor house ruins in Newchurch, Isle of Wight, England.
The remains of Knighton Gorges Manor include stone gateposts, walled gardens with earthworks, an alcove, and a garden building beside the Knighton Down slopes.
Sir Hugh de Morville sought refuge at this manor after participating in the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket of Canterbury on December 29, 1170.
The Tudor architectural elements of the manor incorporated large square windows, spacious rooms, and a distinctive low roof design common in English country houses.
The site remains under private ownership, with restricted access to the grounds and a holiday cottage situated within one of the preserved outbuildings.
Maurice George Bisset deliberately burned and demolished the house in 1820 to prevent his daughter from inheriting the property after she married against his wishes.
