Morton Manor, Brading, Isle of Wight

 

As mentioned on my page about NZ-L for Lucy, the Wellington bomber of
Pilot Officer and Skipper John Trzebski :
Jonzon 14
here are details about one of the Isle of Wight's best attractions.

House : Gardens : Vineyard

This is the old Isle of Wight manor home which John Trzebski and
his wife Jane restored after the war.
Over forty years of love and really hard work have made this one of the most attractive places to visit whilst enjoying a stay on the Isle of Wight.

Elegance and history set amongst one of the finest gardens in England.

I am sad to relate that Jane passed away this Spring : 2000

 

Believed to have been originally built in 1249, Morton Manor is situated on the site of residence of
the de Aula family who were of Norman descent. Since those times, the Manor has been altered with
the addition of a Tudor Longhouse and then major re-building in the year 1680.
The home was refurbished in Geogian times and now retains that style as a charming family home.

The Gardens are considered by many as the most beautiful on the Isle of Wight and
provide a colourful display throughout the year. John and his wife have toiled to produce this
masterpiece, often working well into the night: gardening by moonlight!

If you like:- Rhododendrons, Azaleas, Camelias and Magnolias; Roses, Herbaceous borders, Japanese Acers,
countless specimen trees including possibly Britain's largest Magnolia grandiflora and London Plane;
... all set around the many tender plants that thrive in the island's mild climate,... Then you must visit

Morton Manor, Brading, Isle of Wight, England.

Wine : Wine : Wine

There's a wonderful opportunity for sampling White, Red and Ros'e wine at the "Winebar".

A great "Stable Gift Shop" includes many plants and arts & craft items

and the idyllic "Dove Cot Tea-Rooms" offer deliceous refreshments and food.

 

 

John and Jan and staff, are always available to help with questions and if you're interested in
John's wartime exploits, you can see his collection of photos and artifacts during
conducted tours within the manor house. The Jonzon 14 link at the top of this page will take you to
a painting of NZ-L for Lucy (John's Wellington bomber) and photos of his crew and the 1942 crash-site
where the aircraft ended its days. All crew members survived!
