Bembridge
Bembridge is a village as well as civil parish located on the easternmost factor of the Isle of Wight. It had a population of 3,848 according to the 2001 census of the United Kingdom, leading to the implausible claim by some residents that Bembridge is the biggest town in England. Bembridge is residence to a lot of the Island's wealthiest homeowners. The population had actually reduced to 3,688 at the 2011 Census. Bembridge sits at the extreme eastern factor of the Isle of Wight. Before land improvement the area of Bembridge and Yaverland was nearly an island, divided from the remainder 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 rest of Wight by River Yar. Prior to the Victorian period Bembridge was a collection of wooden huts as well as farmhouses, which only settled into a true town with the building of the church in 1827 (later on rebuilt in 1846).
