Last updated

Staplehurst Manor (also Staplers) was a manor house on the Isle of Wight, situated in the parish of Arreton.

It comprises the high ground to the north-west of Newport, and probably at one time included the land called Blacklands. It was parcel of the manor of Arreton, with which it was granted to Quarr, and is entered as a grange of that monastery in the survey of church lands in 1536. [1] Its later history is identical with that of Arreton Manor. [1]

Arreton Manor is a manor house in Arreton, Isle of Wight, England. Its history is traced to 872 AD to the time of King Alfred the Great and his parents. It was left by King Alfred by his will to his youngest son Aethelweard.
