Location :
Isle of Wight

Grid Ref : SZ4616085050
Summary : Rowborough Farm Cottages including remains of a 17th century Manor House. It is probably on the site of Monastic Grange of Quarr Abbey which was extant in the 1284, when free warren was granted there.
More information : SZ46168505) ISABEL de FORTIBUS confirmed land at ROWBOROUGH: (ROWEBERE, ROWEBERGH, xiii cent; RUBURGHWE, xiv cent; ROUGHBEROUGH, xv cent) to the Abbot and convent of QUARR (a) who in 1284 obtained a grant of free warren there (b). In 1399-1400 a house with a small hall in the middle, a small chamber at one end and a space at the other for cattle was to be built here. (c) The grange of ROWBOROUGH was amoung the possessions of the Abbey at the Dissolution(d) and was granted in 1544 to JOHN and GEORGE MILL (e). It occured in 1588-9(f) and 1780(g) and now belongs to SIR CHAS SEELEY.

The house was erected in the 17th century and contained the usual hall, ktchen with bedrooms over. In the 18th century, what now forms the central block was added and the eastern end in 1856. The original stone mullioned windows, plinth and gable coping still remain in the ancient western block (2). Not shown as grange (3) Not mentioned (4). (1-4)

I know nothing of the history of the house. It was burnt down in the war and has been demolished except for the west end which has now been converted into farm cottages. It is now known as ROWBOROUGH FARM COTTAGES, a new FARMHOUSE having been built elsewhere. (5)

It would appear that the oldest part of the house has escaped the fire, the south gable end of the west wing surviving. The northern end of the present structure is entirely modern. The foundations of the destroyed house can be traced in what is now the front garden of the farm cottage. The stone built gables and windows remaining are consistent with a 17th century date and a farm building is dated 1707.See illustrations card.
No change. The remains are not outstanding. (6)
