Morton Manor

Morton Manor is a stone and brick manor house in Brading featuring a tile-hung first floor positioned at the base of Brading Down. The building combines multiple architectural periods within its structure and is surrounded by landscaped grounds.

The house was built in 1540 and underwent major changes in 1890, while a T-shaped wing was added around 1680. These different construction phases show how the building evolved over centuries.

The dining room displays a Tudor fireplace adorned with green glazed tiles by William De Morgan, showing how families decorated their homes in that era.

The house opens from April through October and visitors need to arrange visits in advance to see the interior and gardens. It is best to contact the property beforehand to confirm times that work for your visit.

The gardens contain about 50 varieties of Japanese maple trees and an Indian Bean tree, all descended from plants grown here since the 1500s. This collection represents a long horticultural tradition developed by successive owners over generations.
