Rylstone Manor (or Rylstone Chalet) is a manor house and was a museum in Shanklin, on the Isle of Wight, England.[1] It was originally constructed as a gentleman's residence in 1863 and remained privately owned until 1923. Of Victorian style, it includes Gothic, Tudor and Georgian influences.[2]
Rylstone Manor is now a hotel. The building is constructed of stone and features include a jettied half-timbered projection. It is located within Rylstone Gardens, a public park.
The Great Masonic Exhibition of 1886 was held on the grounds and at the chalet of Rylstone.[3]
The museum at the Rylstone Chalet was officially opened by Sir Edward Bagnall Poulton on 17 April 1935. The collection included Isle of Wight birds, butterflies, mouths, and eggs.[4]
