Text Box: Wymering Manor, recorded in the Domesday book, is the oldest house in Portsmouth.  From 1042 it belonged to King Edward the Confessor and after the Battle of Hastings in 1066 it became the property of King William the Conqueror, until 1084. The Manor House reveals much of its structure to be early 16th century although Roman and mediaeval materials are evident at several locations within the building.  Beneath the house, cellars cut into the chalk of Portsdown have solid flint walls that are reputed to be Saxon in origin. Inside a spacious hall is dominated by twin, magnificent Jacobean staircases and gallery with barley sugar twist balusters.  Panelled walls and pilasters give an impression of building styles associated with the Tudor Elizabethan period.   Curious features of the house are the two priest-holes and a small square window which looked along the coast road towards Portchester Castle. Portsmouth City Council owned Wymering Manor for over 40 years and during that time it was leased to the Youth Hostel Association. In its time as a youth hostel, it provided as many as three thousand young people a year the opportunity to stay in an old house and savour its atmosphere. The Manor is now owned privately. The Manor is renowned as a favourite of ghost hunters across the UK, many of whom visit it regularly in the hope of seeing its previous occupants………… Join us for a paranormal night into the unexpected….
