Norris Castle, East Cowes - Isle of Wight (UA)
Norris is an exemplar marine villa with castellated model farm/walled garden from 1799 by James Wyatt for Lord Seymour as part of the early villa development on the Solent. A particularly fine and unusual example of its type the historical completeness of its key parkland features, parkland architecture and setting survives mostly intact. Benign neglect allowed the parkland features to survive relative to the Castle and farm that slowly declined due to lack of management. With major development proposals in 2022 a contextual report has been published to better understand the significance.
