Bembridge
Bembridge is a town and also civil parish located on the easternmost point of the Isle of Wight. It had a population of 3,848 according to the 2001 census of the United Kingdom, causing the implausible insurance claim by some residents that Bembridge is the biggest village in England. Bembridge is residence to a lot of the Island's richest locals. The population had decreased to 3,688 at the 2011 Census. Bembridge rests at the severe eastern factor of the Isle of Wight. Prior to land reclamation the area of Bembridge and Yaverland was nearly an island, divided from the rest of the Isle of Wight by Brading Haven. On the Joan Blaeu map of 1665, Bembridge is shown as Binbridge I?le, almost divided from the remainder of Wight by River Yar. Before the Victorian period Bembridge was a collection of wooden huts as well as farmhouses, which just consolidated into a true town with the building of the church in 1827 (later on rebuilt in 1846).
