The mansion-house of Brook evidently formed part of the Bowermans' moiety of the manor, for when Henry VII paid a visit to the Isle of Wight in 1499 he visited Thomas and Joan Bowerman at Brook House, and was so pleased with the entertainment given him that he presented Joan with his drinking horn and gave her a warrant for a fat buck of the season to be annually delivered to her from his forest of Carisbrooke during her life.  

¶ Joan, died in 1503, & was succeeded by her grandson Nicholas son of Thomas Bowerman, who died in 1559, leaving a son and heir William, who later acquired the other moiety of the manor from George Gilbert, as stated above.
In 1580 his son Thomas was dealing with the manor and it passed from him to his son William, who was one of the judges of the Knighten Court in 1625.
Thomas, the son and successor of William, was MP for Newport in 1658 and died in 1677.
 His second son John succeeded to the manor, apparently settling it in 1688 upon his son William. 
The manor stayed in the direct line in this family  until 1792, when William Bowerman sold it to Henry Howe.
