Osborne House in East Cowes, was built for Queen Victoria in the mid-1800's, originally as a holiday home, but latterly as her main residence. She died there in 1901. It is an English Heritage property and is well worth a visit.

He was eventually taken from here to London where he was beheaded in 1649; again another English Heritage property well worth a visit, where you can still see donkeys on the wheel raising water from the water well.
