      Started in the early 18th century as the seat of the Worsley family, Appuldurcombe was once the largest house on the Isle of Wight. A later owner, Sir Richard Worsley, 7th Baronet, rose to prominence through a 1782 court case in which his wife, Seymour, admitted to having had 27 lovers.

      Appuldurcombe was a masterpiece of English Baroque architecture, and although it is now an ornate shell, it still retains more than a shadow of its former dignity and many fine architectural details. Celebrated landscape designer 'Capability' Brown improved the sloping terrain in the 1780s.
