Arreton Manor 1997

Arreton Manor 1997
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. Once owned by William the Conqueror, as
mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, in the 12th century
it became part of Quarr Abbey and was used by the monks for
over 400 years. In 1525 it was leased to the Leigh family.
The manor was rebuilt between 1595 and 1612. Built in Jacobean
style, it is in the shape of a "H". It is also widely known on
the Isle of Wight in folklore for its paranormal activity, particularly
the ghost of a young girl named Annabelle Leigh who was
murdered at the manor by her own brother in 1560.
