What's on in Portsmouth - Lectures, Seminars and Presentations: Welcome to Portsmouth! (Portsmouth)

Janet Hird from The Friends of Old Wymering is talking to the Portsmouth Group of the Hampshire Genealogical Society about Old Wymering Manor its history and influence in the local area. Members and non-members are welcome.

Wymering Manor House is one of the oldest houses in Portsmouth and the oldest in Old Wymering Conservation Area. The house is a Grade II listed historic building. However, it has not been repaired since the collapse of the north-east corner of the building which occurred about 8 years ago.

The house is owned by Portsmouth City Council who bought it when it was threatened with demolition. They are currently trying to find a buyer who will invest in the future of the Manor.
