Does not adequately show notability. Current "claim" to notability is "One of the finest known portraits by Sir Thomas Lawrence ... is located in its drawing room". Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:59, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

• Keep. It's a listed building (Grade II) and seems to be a landmark on the Isle of Wight. It's been discussed (albeit briefly, in most cases) in numerous travel books and other publications over the centuries, so it meets the general notability guideline. --Orlady (talk) 14:23, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
• Keep - simply meets the notability guideline for inclusion.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:28, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

• Keep, listed building status puts it in the top 7% of all buildings in the UK. Although Grade II does not give automatic notability, the range of sources shows that the article meets WP:GNG. Mjroots (talk) 19:59, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
• Keep Grade II does not confer automatic notability (I live in one and should certainly be surprised to find an entry in WP) and although the proportion of listed buildings is much less than 7% (2% is quoted here) it is really II* and I that matter. It is a hotel with [http://list.english-heritage.org.uk/resultsingle.aspx?uid=1213128 some interesting architecture]. Nevertheless, I agree that its notability and history drag it above the threshold. --AJHingston (talk) 22:36, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
• Strongest possible keep Quite possibly one of the most invalid nominations I've ever seen. This manor is mentioned in scores of reliable history books and architectural books which makes it clearly notable and has it place in British history in the Doomsday Book. ♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:37, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
• Keep - If it was notable for the Domesday Book and still exists it is notable for us. Agathoclea (talk) 12:20, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
• Very well, I will withdraw my nomination per WP:SNOW. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:24, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
