Prior to land improvement the location of Bembridge as well as Yaverland was nearly an island, separated from the remainder of the Isle of Wight by Brading Haven. On the Joan Blaeu map of 1665, Bembridge is revealed as Binbridge I?le, almost separated from the remainder of Wight by River Yar. Before the Victorian period Bembridge was a collection of wooden huts and also farmhouses, which just consolidated right into a true town with the structure of the church in 1827 (later restored in 1846).
