Description “YARMOUTH, a borough, market town, and parish, in the liberty of West Medina, Isle of Wight division of the county of Southampton, 10 miles (west) from Newport, and 94 (southwest) from London, by Portsmouth, and 105 by Southampton, containing 564 inhabitants. This place which derived its name from its situation on the river Yar, was formerly of much greater extent and importance than it is at present; but it had suffered severely from attacks of the French, by whom it was, in the reign of Richard II., pillaged and entirely burned, and on two subsequent occasions it was nearly destroyed by them.” –from A Topographical Dictionary of England by Lewis in 1831 |
