Sir Robert Worsley was elected as a member of parliament representing Newton, Isle of Wight, in 1666 and served until his death in 1675. The Worsley family owned a large Tudor mansion on the island, on which Worsley's son, also called Robert, began renovations on in 1702. The home, now known as Appuldurcombe House, was designed by the English architect, John James. Severely damaged during the World War II, now only its façade remains intact, and it is infamous today as one of the most 'haunted' places on the Isle of Wight.
