Sheat Manor

Sheat Manor is a manor house in Chillerton, on the Isle of Wight. Considered to be one of the island's antiquities,[1] Sheat manor house, is a fine old gabled mansion now used as a farmhouse. It has a pretty effect, with its pond and swans in front, and surrounding foliage. It contains some interesting Jacobite carving. Sheat was one of the few properties whose Saxon possessor, Alaric, was not disturbed by the Norman invasion.
