Scoles manor

Scoles Manor is a listed Grade 2* building two miles from Corfe Castle, Dorset. It is believed to be the oldest continuously occupied building in the parish of Corfe Castle. The main part of the house was built in 1635 and there is a medieval structure attached which has been dated to 1280 and which was either a chapel or a small hall house.

The name Scoles is derived from the family called Scoville or Scovil who originally came from the village of Escoville in Normandy. The are records of Scovilles living here in the 13th and 14th centuries but the property was then passed to their female descendants (including Dacombes and Colsons) before being bought by the John Scott, 1st Earl of Eldon in approx 1810.
