East Cowes Castle was the home of [[architect]] [[John Nash (architect)|John Nash]] between its completion and his death in [[1835]]. Nash himself was the designer of the site, and began construction as early as [[1789]]. He was interred on the grounds. |

The structure gained renown for its complex castellation, its [[Gothic architecture|gothic]]-style turrets and towers, and for the notable individuals who came to be Nash's guests there, including the [[Prince Regent]] and [[J.M.W. Turner]], who painted a picture of the location. |
